Fly Girl

I am a woman;
I am tied
       in gowns,
       in marriage,
       to the ground -
or so I should be.

But I am a fly girl;
I am free to roam
       in time,
       in space,
       the wild blue yonder -
as it should be.

For I am a fly girl;
I have
       strength,
       spirit,
             daring.
I am the wind and the stars.
