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 cried for hours when Wash died. I never realized that he was actually my FAVORITE character out of everyone. He had the spirit of the whole crew. He was kind of what kept them going. Even during his worst moments, he was always the one you could count on to see the light in the tunnel (in his own special way).

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.

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.
