Picture by Jim Warren

* * *

You glide with so much ease
And skim the water effortlessly
You live between the sky
And the deep blue of the sea

I look at you in awe
As you grace the sapphire sky
You spy a tasty morsel
From the corner of your eye

When the dark clouds block the sun
And the rain starts falling down
Way up high amongst the clifftops
Is where you can be found

If only I could fly
Way up high there with you
I could leave the world behind
And my troubles would be few

But my wish may not be granted
So I'll just marvel at your grace
As you fly towards the sunset
'til you're gone without a trace

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Very beautiful Sue,  complimented well by
the picture.  You grow steadily as a poetess.

Great write....Yes,  I know the feeling of

Sue...to soar..to fly, I think we all dream about this at one time or another.
This is especially beautiful...very much enjoyed the read.

Sue:  I loved this!  The sea-birds are so fascinating and beautiful to watch when they fly. I never tire of them, when we are at the ocean.  The picture is a perfect compliment to your lovely poem.

Hi Sue ... I love to sit and watch the gulls gliding on the wind, diving for food or just strolling the beach. They are such a graceful bird.

I would love to fly like them also! Imagine the fun we could have and the sights we would see.

(smiles) Oh Sue, if you always believe in your heart, you can always fly like the birds and embrace the heavens in dreaming with heart, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Oh, but with your words, you do fly, much higher than any gull ever could, and twice as beautifully!  Wonderful poem, I like!

I have had this same kind of wish. It would me nice to be able to fly way up high away from all of our troubles.
