~*~

I rise at night on wing of owl
into the darkness of Father Sky.
Stars twinkle along my path of flight,
as my soul roams freely
o'er Mother Earth below.

Good morning, Mr. T. ~

Would you care to come fly with me some starry night...

Have a gloriously wonderful day!

Gorgeous, EA. Extremely well done!!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Linda,

I had to grin as soon as I saw the title and your name.

I could envision you astral projecting, horizonally, above your body with title alone, ready to soar.

Years ago, astral projecting, I made it to Ann Arbor, Michigan to visit my friend. I told her, I would tell her what she'd have on her dresser to prove I had been there. Had never visited her new house or the large piece of property they have. I told her to please not make love that night, and we giggled. I didn't make it to her bedroom but did make it to a specific part of property I had no way of knowing about...and gave her a description of a particular part of one of the out buildings and scared the stuffings out of both of us. I was right. I was there. I don't astral project anymore...smiling here....happy flight!!( If I ever change my mind, Venus is my next stop)

Hugs and love, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Pat ~

I loved your personal story. Astral travelling can be frightening but I have done it my whole life. Actually, I usually travel on much higher planes and believe me, it is much safer and more wondrous up there.
My earliest recollections were when I was only three years old.

To paraphrase Shakespeare's Hamlet speaking to Horatio, "There is more to heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy"!!!

~ Happy flying!

Linda

I "rise" as night too.....in fact, it's hard to "relieve" myself with that first morning bathroom visit....but, it's a "guy" thing yanno...and not nearly as poetic as this....

Thank you dear inked one!

Yes, I do believe a goddess such as yourself would most surely "feel this way too".

Thank you for the "beautiful" reply!

~ Happy trails to you...

Toe ~

Oh, that sounds so painful. I wish I could ease your suffering...

Take two aspirins and call me the following morning.

~ May your cup runneth over!

With only 5 lines you painted us a dreamscape mural....
poetically lovely EA...wonderful writing.

Where the touch of lovers end and the soul of friends begin,
there's a need to be separate and a need to be one ...
it's struggle neither wins.

Linda, I was going to type something really beautiful, but after reading about the rising of Toe's anatomy, I completely forgot what I had in my mind. His reply and your response got me so tickled, I was giggling out loud....LOL  


I would say that I'd come back and do the reply I had intended, but I know I'd start giggling all over again. Poor ole Toe's so goofy, isn't he? But, so am I. I guess that's why I think he's so funny...LOL

Noah ~

Would you care to join me some starlit night?
We could rise above the firmament and travel to distant star systems. You would be a wonderful companion with whom to make such a journey...

~ May God's breath keep your wings aloft...

Goodnight hugs,
Linda

Yes, indeed there is magic in this nightly flight. We should meet at an appointed hour  just beyond the belt of Orion...

Sweet dreams...
