Escape
Flight of Fancy
Escape....
A mesh of soft, white barbs
Beating together
Pulsing with life,
Soaring up into the dense fields of
Towering Giants
- tipped with golden-blue light
Taking the thin frame higher, higer...
Then...
Suddenly...
Plummeting...
Twisting....
Spiraling...
Down...
Down...
Down........
Then throttling back up inot
the deep blue,
Climbing the wind's spiral stairs
Reaching, yearning
Scraping the floors of Heaven...
Ah...the freedom
THE DARING
The wind rushing by
Flying, flying
Never to touch the hot, parched Earth again
Earth that sticks to and burns the soul.
Aerial fantasy.
Splashing in the deep blues, greens and purples
Of the sky,
Dancing in and out of the stained glass
Rainbows,
Shaking off the crystal dew
.......Laughing......
Cloaking your soft pinions
in the dusky redness of the twilight
as you fly ever on...
Stars set upon your brow..
Twinkling in your eyes
No, never to return
Never to return to life below.
Never to walk with tired feet and
Broken Wings
Never to see your dreams
Disolve into nothingness
For up here, with the icy stars smiling beside you
Dreams are reality and reality is but a dream
So come,
Let us fly with the doves
You and I
or let us die trying
