      October 3, 2015The Dream of FlightMichael Wang

      From the mountaintop I watch
      as humans come, go, and fall
      As they scramble to be lifted up in the air
      Oh how they want my gift
      to float with the clouds in the sky
      Oh how they try and try
      But they cannot fully touch the sky
      They build their things
      their contraptions, their metals
      but they will never achieve the true gift
      the power of flight
      to become one with the sky
       
      Though they might never truly take flight
      their dream lives on and
      flies

      from 2015 RYPA

      Michael Wang (age 13)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because it allows the ability to write complex things simply, and the simplicity of it makes it more complex.”
