I Might Just Fly Away

Arms stretched out all the way
Catch as much air as I can hold
Grasping at the wind
A steady, salty, sandy sea wind
Nearly strong enough to hold me up
If I fall back into it
Just misty enough that I can’t tell
I’m wet nearly through
Until I turn around
And feel the wind from the other side
Arms stretched out all the way
Hair whipping around in a frenzy
Eyes closed tight to feel it more closely
To feel that I might just fly away
If I took just a few steps running
If I leaped just a bit
With arms stretched out all the way
In this strong salty sea wet wind
It might pick me up and carry me away
Away over the rocks and the waves
And up over the morning fog
I might just fly away
