Curious

I am curious to say the least
I try with all my might but these thoughts won’t cease
I wonder why the sky is blue
I hear it’s from the ocean blue
I want to see the world from up high
Like the birds in the sky
I am curious to say the least
What would it look like from up in the sky

I pretend I am a dream that floats in the sky
I feel eyes prying at my soul
There is no place to hide, no place to go
I touch the air with my nose
Flying on waves like a boat
I want to go where the air is high

I worry that I won’t return home
Back to the place where I used to roam
I am curious to say the least

I understand that you sometimes can’t do as you say
I say in my mind it’s all going to be okay
I dream of soaring with the birds
I know my thoughts may sound absurd
But I try to keep them grounded
But at last my roots have given way
And my ship has left the sea
The anchor tucked away safely

I hope that I will return home
Back to the place where I used to roam
I am curious to say the least
