small thoughts, big words

[novium]

 

I want none of these small thoughts
nor even smaller stories
the banal constricting duties that aren't

I want to stretch and fly
on the whims of imagination
and to reach beyond my own frailties

I want to be big and brash
Bold as brass
I want to shake it all off in one glorious turn
sending off a million droplets to scatter in the sun
and be liberated from presence of mind

And when I speak, I want to tell only the best stories

They'll glide on gilded wings, upheld by breath alone
and roost in other people's souls
