Abandoned Valentine

If we abandon the birds
Of reality and song
It won’t be long
 
Before the air itself is gone
Reduced to mostly words
We no longer mean
 
We think we’re flying
Sitting in our seats
When it’s the plane that’s flying
 
Defying the laws of common sense
When they prove not too reliable
Arriving at their destinations late
 
But dreaming in my seat
I feel a further flight inside
A new bird lifted into night
