A Wider Sky (Free verse) by elderking
Defeated by your expectations,
I'd treasured once, but now abandon.
I turn my back on hearts held earthbound;
I'll chase instead some wider skys.
Though you believed I'd never leave you,
(ever the Victim you're pleased to rescue)
I shook my wings free of the self doubt
to spring in flight, despite your cries.
grinning wide, I soared above you,
(threw you a kiss for once I'd loved you)
then set my course for far horizons.
My kiss clutched tightly, you watched me fly.
