Wash has always been my favorite character.

This is for him.

You've just gotta fly a little higher.

Still Flying Serenity

By DARKEYES

Well I'm still flying Serenity

And I'm cruising far through the black

I have charted a course to the heavens

Not sure if I’ll be coming back

We took on all the ‘Verse had to give

All for just a chance to really live

I lived my dream, and I’m still flying free

I’m still soaring; don’t shed your tears for me

Because I’m still flying with Serenity

And I go where the stars shine so bright

I will always be sailing beside you

Flying high, flying free in the night

Because I’m still flying with Serenity

Don’t lose sight of what is real

Tell my wife I am flying through the black

And I still have my hands on the wheel

I was a leaf on the wind, oh how I would soar

I know there’s nothing to be afraid of anymore

I haven’t left you; I’m still with you in the sky

It’s time to spread our wings and fly

Because I’m still flying with Serenity

Don’t lose sight of what is real

Tell my wife I am flying through the black

And I still have my hands on the wheel

Because I’m still flying with Serenity

And I go where the stars shine so bright

I will always be sailing beside you

Flying high, flying free in the night

I'll leave a comment after I come back from crying.

Perfect.

I am a guy. I am gonna cry. Wash being taken away was like someone leapt on my puppy... I cried in public for godsakes..but this song is perfect. A little uneasy in what I take to be the chorus, but still a warm, and tearful goodbye to like, the best character on the show.

Nobody could cuss in Mandarin like him. Nobody could choreograph dinosaur tableaux like him. Nobody could fly a Firefly like him. Nobody could melt Zoe (and us!) like him. This song does him justice and I thank you for it.

It's sung to the tune of "Downeaster Alexa"

Excellent homage. For me, I like Wash cuz he's not a badass like Jayne or a seasoned soldier like Mal or Zoe, but when the go-se hits the fan, Wash is your man in the pilot's seat. To me he represents the indomitable if raggedy-edged spirit of Serenity herself. Won't go lookinm' for a fight, but he'll sure as hell be there to finish it -- and get his baby on the deck.

I think that this is a great poem for the best character on the show. Excellent work.
