Love is again upon the bough
where once it perched before
uncertain, scared, afraid,
spread wings and fly the sky
or simply wait like entities
scared to surpass the known.

I will that courage rises up,
I will it certainty
in the message of its dreams
sneakily implanted
in the frame of all it knows.

And I know about turbulence
that shakes us left and right
as if the middle can’t sustain
a smooth and easy flight.

But in the middle, yes, right there,
is where we level out
and glide into the knowing
that mind must inculcate itself
into the realms of mortal love.

I will with all my heart
that once was dead but now alive
to the glory that can be
when love decides to fly.

Fly, fly, fly the sky;
birds do it, why can’t you?

Ohhhhh, dear Helen, I feel like an eagle after reading your stirring beautiful poem! Use this magical current that flows from your heart and SOAR!

To fly is one of the most powerful yearnings of human beings! And love can propel us high, so high! Three, two, one ... FLY!

Meet you up there!

Love and hugs.

Thank you Marge, Roniece, and Margherita.  I guess the mind can take us wherever we want to go speedier and more safely than any aeroplane - and we would see so much more without the clouds of illusion in the way.  

Love
Helen

Helen,

I think love just gets jostled when it hits air pockets.  I believe it always will soar high above all that is lonely.

Raise above many with the inner feeling that you can. You are the wings, control for the better good... Fly!
