As the Crow Flies -

All here is good

Still and quiet

A branch

Blossom heavy

Lit by the sun

Flowers in the meadow

In full bloom

Midsummer

Stars fall

Earthbound

Catching the uplift

Taking to the skies

Slip the bonds of childhood

And home

No glance behind

All is still and quiet

There she goes

Into the fields

The turning of the wheels

The sound of children’s laughter

Fading with the distance

Measured out in years

Take flight to the skies

With hopes and dreams

Hopes and dreams

Safe landings, my loves

Always

Straight as the crow flies

The beat of wings

The great escape

Build you some

Bridges back to earth

To solid ground

Hope not to fall

Or drift away

Take flight to the skies

With hopes and dreams

Hopes and dreams

Good journeys, my loves

Straight and true

Take flight to the far skies

Distant as you dare

Don’t let anybody tell you

That you’re too close to the sun

All here is good

Still and quiet
