Fly (An Original Poem)
<center> Free me 
from this gravity,
only long enough 
so that my 
mind may rest, 
my soul may wander, 
and this heart, 
for a moment,
might feel 
a splendid
absence of yearning. </center>
 
<center> There is so 
much more
to this life
than we can see 
and these 
words are wings
that hold me aloft
just long enough 
to remember. </center>

<center> ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/mufPePT1wysiA/giphy.gif) </center>

<center> Worries and wants 
are beggars 
who keep us 
mired in mortality 
and ever shield us
from our truths. </center>

<center> When life 
leaves us lost
we must only 
remember that  
inside each of us is 
all we will ever need… </center>

<center> So
call on 
the alchemy 
of your words,
spread your wings,
and fly. </center>

<center> *~ Eric Vance Walton ~* </center>

Hi Eric, what a beautiful poem. I think the poem tells about someone's desire to be free. Enjoy your day, sir.

Thank you! You're correct! This one is about how, as an author, your words have the potential to set you free...emotionally and physically.
