If Only I Could Soar
If only I could soar,
away from the shadows I've cast,
lifted by winds that whisper of peace,
far from the echoes of my past.
If only I could rise,
to dance with the stars in their gleam,
carving a path through the endless skies,
leaving behind every broken dream.
Lost in the rush of the breeze,
Weightless and free, untethered by pain,
No longer bound by memories' chains,
I’d never descend to earth again.
If only I could fly,
Instead of carrying these scars,
I’d drift through the heavens, untouched and wild,
No longer haunted by who we are.
To soar so high, above everything,
I’d find solace in the endless blue,
Where heartache fades and hope takes wing,
If only I could fly—if only it were true.

You write with guarded optimism.
I know that feeling well.
This is my 3rd read.
Sometimes your poems need multiple reads before I can comment.
Well penned, it's personal to you but universal for me too...
