Take Flight

Take a deep breath...
Smell the crisp fall air blowing wind in your hair...
Sit down, read a book, stick your face in a pile of bliss
You must dismiss yourself from the grind and enter the flow...

Flow to make your heart grow
Flow to find some information you do not know
Flow like a float whispering in the sky,
But don't fill the balloon too far or it shall explode...

Explode like an overflowing volcano looking to drain its excess lava
Explode to know your insides are fluttering too much
There's too much helium in this balloon which is holding on for dear life
And putting up a great fight
Which thankfully there's no needle in sight...

Take flight, take flight, take flight...
You hear those words being chanted omnidirectionally
As your heart and your body flood with cortisol while you try not to lose your soul to Uncle Sam...
Your eyes are filled with sand when you wake up in the morning at sleep deprived o'clock to go work for the man in corporate desk job land...

Isn't that just grand?
Especially if you feel you have nowhere to land
While being surrounded by people who could be your parents,
You wish you could be in the office and release a ferret for fun...
The fun has just begun 
The fun of causing a ruckus where everything is black... and white... and boring, which causes snoring,
But making noise will lead to soaring...

Take a risk
Color outside the lines
Go zen yourself out somewhere to get the cortisol to stop flowing everywhere.
Take a break from the norm before becoming terribly bored, especially when you're young
As there is tons of fun to be had and more leisure and relaxation measures to suit your pleasures...
While the stress melts itself away...
You again hear the chanting from the birds, omnidirectionally: "take flight, take flight, take flight" it's time to live your fucking life!

Warrior's Spirit

The warrior’s spirit plows through the shadows
Lighting up the room with pride,
Steadily learning to fly,
Fighting through every last breath,
To never stay down after falling.
Slashing through adversity with every tip-toed stride
The warrior must embark on a journey through jagged roads
In order to seek the ultimate powers from the shrine:
Strength, bravery, resilience, and love!
