Unencumbered and Free
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
I climb flaxen tendrils streaming down from the moon,
And sway on beams of light to the tune, Clair de Lune.
As veils of darkest night rise to meet starlit sky,
My spirit joins in song with angels winging by.

I breathe in the coolness of a late summer’s night,
And meld with the heavens as my spirit takes flight.
I fly into the ethers, unencumbered and free,
I’m at peace with myself and a part of All Be.
+*+*+*+*+*+

How up-lifting! This is a vastly beautiful arrangement. Only one thing I didn't quite follow:

"My soul is in reveal to angels winging by."

That line makes no sense to me. Is your soul in revel? Or is it revealed? *scratches head*

It's only a tragedy after we bleed.
Your pain doesn't count 'til it's stained the sheets.

Eromyna ~

I suppose that line did sound rather obtuse. What I was trying to say is that one is an open book to the angels. They see everything. When you fly among the stars you cannot hide what is inside.

I have now changed the line so that I won't be having any more readers scratching their heads! lol

I appreciate your comments and for drawing that to my attention!

Fly high, happy and free! Stars

Sounds like you've been enjoying a porch of your own, Linda...     Nothing quite as relaxing on a "late summer's night", huh??  Very cool write, Linda!!

A feeling I get when going up in an ultralight airplane.

I am right there with you, dear Linda!

You know that this is totally after my heart. And even though your first version was a little bit criptic in that verse regarding the Angels, it's absolutely beautiful with your explanation. The definite version is of course perfect in any way.

Can I dwell in this wonderful realm for a while?

Enchanting write!

Love and hugs.
