This poem represents how I feel...And have felt I wrote this back in 1995. I have some good days, weeks, but it somehow always comes back to feeling like my wings are tied behind my back and I cant move...I long for the day when I can soar.

Maybe my words will touch someone.
Take care and never give up...
Di~

i'm ready to soar

i'm ready to soar across
the ocean blue
to spread my wings
and feel the breeze
to fly above the worries
of life
to float above the pain
and strife
to coast through the fog,
that clouds one's eyes
and climb above the mountains
on my path
to fly and not look
back
to continue forward or in
circles, if I wish
but not going back the
direction of my past
i'm ready to soar so high,
as high as I can fly
through the clouds and
through the rain
i'm ready to soar the
gorgeous blue sky
never to come down, to sail
in harmony with the wind

if first, someone would
untie my wings
