If Only I Had Wings

If only I had wings I would fly away.
Somewhere above the clouds.
I would soar with the Eagles and
threathen never to come down.

I would fly above the political  troubles
that has taken over our world.
I would fly above the disasters that has
shaken the lives of many unexpected.
souls.

I would soar,higher and higher until
 no longer  I can be seen.
I'll glide somewhere close to heaven
and the earth.but always in between.

 If only I had wings I could fly away.
To a bettet place,where smiles are genuine
words are pleasant,and Love is for real.
But I do not have wings, so I much settle for this.

I love your poem Mamie. One of my screen names is angelwowings which means angel without wings. Metaphorically, you have wings, and I know they will take you anywhere you want to go. Peace & Blessings ADJ

Wings are not only for flying above the fray, Mamie. They are symbols of independence and bravery..soaring to the rescue, to the fight and down the road . The wings of Rolls Royce on their cars and plane engines. The wings of all motorcycle riders, fliers, and lately on the backs of t-shirts everywhere as symbols of higher self or egoism,,Im not sure on that one. Our nation uses the eagle, as do many others, as a symbol of strength and ferocity with the wings to reach far places in the fight for causes and to protect. Wings of choice to either fly above and let be what will be is often the right or only choice, or to gather the issues and people beneath them for protection. This is decidedly a difficult planet at times and your sweet poetry reminds us how daunting it can be, but even the angels are compelled to swoop down on us to engage in our complicated lives as humans. We are a paradox to them and maybe heaven is a bit too serene to be interesting, yes?
