A thought, familiar followed me cross the lawn down the spring and up again Moving faster, quicker in clever strides above me now that melt of green into blue horizon breathes Below me, to the very verge of the sea empty soaring space of free Granite flecks dance among waves, silvery I am more in reach of those places than a thought, something on the edge could ever be I am more in speak of those words than a thousand voices claim to be What a thing to be in flight beyond the seeming power of pretend Impossible to profess the thing I would die a day to possess What a thought to kiss the night Far above the thing to be admired All I can bring you, with fire In my heart, soars beyond higher A thought, familiar rests inside my head Silken sheets a feathery deep inside my bed Comfort of full, sleepy lids slows the rock of moon into star’s horizon |

I am more in reach of those places than a thought, something on the edge could ever be ~*~ When I reached this stanza... that's when the writer of the poem became Jonathan. Fly on...and write more.  |

Thanks Dixie, Karilea, Lee, Angel and Marge! I have this recurring dream about flying (self-propulsion  so real-to-life it's hard to brush off . . . inbetween dreams I find a little fantasizing does the trick - - almost! Hugs, Robert |
