Foolish Heights

Why is it I look into the sky

With a heavy heart and a silent cry,

What do I seek beyond the clouds?

An isolated lie? A foolish dream?

Although time should drift me away

To skies unknown to such heights,

I still seek them across the horizon,

Hoping to grasp a fool's dream again,

If only to graze such childish desire,

To succumb to the chains of impulse,

And run once again to such heights,

If only I could be the fool, I once was
