Dark moss covered the sloping trees,

In a forest that stretched to the coast of a sea,

Makes you feel like flying,

Soaring,

And flying,

And I could,

And I would,

In the paperwing.

Out of the clearing,

Hands brushed the tips of leaves,

We're taking off

Steady,

Steady!

But we were twirling,

And diving,

Advanced piloting

Was our only hope

As we clipped the tops of trees.

It's so lightweight

Majestic,

too,

Aircraft of paper

-who knew?

Adorned with a painted set of eyes,

The eyes

Always set

Towards the sky.

Not my best work; concrit welcome.
