Last Night I Dreamt That I Had Wings

If you have wings, where would you fly to?

Last night  I dreamt that I had wings.

With my wind-swept hair, I flew over snow-covered mountain tops. I flew where the eagles soared high.

I flew over oceans with waves taller than trees.

I flew where bubbling brooks and rivers flowed in rhythm.

I flew through the mist of the clouds in the sky.

I flew through meadows filled with butterflies amongst marigolds, daffodils and dandelions.

I loved every moment when I was flying over and through unexplored places where I have never been to.

I have never felt so free and joyous for a long time.

But there was something amiss as I enjoyed my flight because the farther I went, the heavier my heart felt.

I would have flown farther away to  discover more enchanting places but I did not.

I started to go back where the dream started.

I flew back home.
