Dreams of Flight

[ICSoria]

Prologue:
His fractured hopes, dreams analyzed
each day by an accomplished Ph.D
resolved to set his fragile psyche free.
Outlined within a grandiose summation
complex elucidations of just why
he harbors latent dreams to fly.

In exchanging faith for CD, gold
watches while receding dreams turn shades
of pink, slipped silently, indifferently,
with inter-office mail. Net worth defined now
by what a voucher and O/T can buy.
Still he dreams that he should fly

All quasi-friendship-schemes will cease
tonight as obscure documents disclose
sum totals: squandered corporate dividends;
slattern breakfasts in the Gulfstream III;
his own decree of truths none dare deny.
They'll wish they all had wings to fly.

Epilogue:
From silver stories harbor, views
the diamond night tranquility;
unfurls untested wings. He knows:
The truth will once more set him free
and prove that he was meant to fly.
His leap of faith will stab the sky.
