Flying Free

By James Ferrante

I am in a prison

     Trapped within my mind

     Lost within my memories

     Sad for all of time

Can I hold on now

     To a better future

     I know, I know, I know it is true

     I would have to forget

     Every thing I knew

In this moment of time can I exist

     And twist this reality

     To create a bliss

I stand upon the edge

     Of the great abyss

     If I let go I cease to exist

     Yet in the end I will only miss

I will miss this moment in time

     And regardless of my crimes

     I can create a new life

     A life of love of giving in the moment

     To a humanity unaware

     Of the ripple my stone creates

Like a starship moving through space,

     I am reborn in a better place
