why i learn to fly

when i fly
i see not one in view
when i dive
i lose myself in view

but when i stop to look
i see all things in view

they soar, they dive,
they wonder why
yet only i can understand

thus i just stop to view
and through viewing i then learn

it's not how you move
it's not what you see
it's how you learn to
move when you are still

and how you soar
and how you dive
and how to understand
your view.

so now i sit to learn
to view
to understand the lessons
in my view

i soar, i dive, i wonder why
yet i am still sitting still

it'llcome one day
when i shall understand
when i return
to fly

i shall fly
with wings opened wide
yet understand
why
i shall soar
why
i shall dive
why
why
why
have i come to understand all things in view.
