Given angel's wings, where might you fly? In what sweet heaven might you find your love? Unwilling to be bound, where might you move, Lost between the wonder and the why?...

The speaker poses a chain of airy, conditional questions—"Given angel's wings"—to dramatize longing for transcendence and for a love imagined as both salvific and elusive. The imagery of flight and "sweet heaven" suggests an ideal realm where desire might finally be satisfied, yet the repeated "might" keeps everything hypothetical, emphasizing uncertainty rather than arrival. The line "Unwilling to be bound" frames love and selfhood as restless, resistant to confinement by circumstance, convention, or even the beloved. The closing phrase, "Lost between the wonder and the why," captures a modern tension: the pull of awe and romantic possibility versus the mind’s demand for explanation and meaning. The poem’s power lies in sustaining that suspension rather than resolving it.
