See Me Fly

See me in heaven

When I’ve passed away

In the stars; in the moon

In the milky way

In the breaking of dawn

Coral sun slowly rising

A scattering of brilliance

’Cross all the horizon

In majestic bald eagles

Aloft in the air

In the billowy clouds

That drift here and there

In the mid-day sunshine

That kisses your cheeks

That pierces the windows

And warms with its heat

In sea salty waves

That lap on the shore

In perpetual motion

Their ebb and their flow

In blossoms and flowers

That flourish in spring

In the birds of the morning

That echo and sing

In the showers of rain

That cleanse all the earth

And wash it anew

Bringing joy and mirth

In fiery sunsets

Of deep orange and pink

As the cool, blue sky

Is brushed with eve’s ink

See me, I’m with you

Gaze with your eyes

My body gave way

So my spirit could fly
