Wings for Just One Day

It would be crazy

“Courtesy of Misa Ferreira de Rezende”

I wanted for just one day

To have wings and fly

In dreams I already can do that

It’s easy as walking on the sea.

But in real life I have my feet on the ground

I keep the wings in my heart

And about the sea all I can have

Is to listen to its murmur

But that’s all right

I can not complain

I’m happy, I’m restless

And almost poet.
