Soaring Higher

Rising on wings of imagination into blue skies above,

where there isn't any need to always push and shove.

Like an eagle whose grandeur shines forever bright,

even in the darkest hours for those who need insight.

With their minds filled by worries of a troubled world,

as children struggle against torrents of hate unfurled.

While their dreams glow like the sun shining bright,

never failing to grow even in absence of warm light.

Which is necessary so nature might always thrive,

remaining a paradise where people can feel alive.

When cold and lonely in this world filled with contempt,

for people who are different even though they attempt.

Making it hard to believe that society will ever change,

despite so much beauty within sight even if strange.

What's often perceived as plain and without grace,

can simply be a coccoon of possibilities to embrace.

Acceptance is hard indeed for people existing today,

especially when dependent on what you do or say.

So spread your wings and set a destination to tomorrow,

beyond these times of despair forgetting all sorrow.
