They Said: No
  
 They told you “no.”
 They said, “you can’t succeed.”
 You flung wide your arms
 found air beneath your wings 
 soared beyond expectation.
 You found the moon
 danced in the heavens
 feasted in all the faraway galaxies.
 Upon returning,
 you ignored disapproval
 but helped others soar
 until the heavens filled
 with jubilant souls swaying.
