Flitting Pegasus

Pulsating waves ruffle the feathers as the hooves dance,
Placing themselves evenly spread on the invisible stair runway,
Anticipating the imminent launch with ebulient awareness,
Ready to bear the weight of adoration's commanding prerogative.

Suddenly gliding aloft on the unseen clouds of whispering air,
Billows of brief elevating moments wafting through
Transience bubbling with new reliable permanence
Lift the wayfarer on to new and greater heights.

The everpresent sky offers the lens to open the horizon
Pulling the traveller's desire eastward and upward,
Sparking facility and prowess to steer the bolt of inspiration
Toward the accessway to perfection's destination.

Pinions of eloquence pull the clouds under their might
Stretching for the star ahead with smooth even rhythm,
Fixity of purpose filling each new stroke with inertia,
Powering the fantastic into a mighty arrow of truth.

Ephemeral worlds of floating time ripen perishables
Beneath the same invisible clouds of uplifting future,
Laying out a blanket of history to forge tools of perpetuity,
Fodder for a momentary respite to renew the manege.

Inhaling the idea and exhaling the purpose, time dwindles,
Bringing up another alluring ascension as the new dawn opens,
Pilgrim and pathfinder combine to navigate up and through
The narrow gate of circumspection and apprehension.

Clammoring hooves with strength and passion ring out
Trampling fear and angst, worry and dread, apathy and despair,
Propelling hope, promise, trust, reliance, confidence and faith
On wings of self evident proof and overflowing love.
