SPREADING MY WINGS

      

I am the captain of my own destiny

One humble and tiny

However over the oceans I spread my wings

And in the ball-room I practise the best swings

My map is hidden

Within a place - forbidden

I applied for a license

To unveil one essence

I did not obtain planning permission

To construct my desired mansion

A little bird came whistling to me

Be patient Magie

I became resilient

But remained a civil guardian

Wore my different caps

To absorb the heavy downpours from

various taps

Yet my dreams

Are beautified within colourful beams

I am flying in very thin air

To confirm my flair

 Shadows must have an ending

 My outward sense befriending

 That my inward vision be clear

 So as the great sacrament revere
