I waltzed across the concrete sky today
hoping that you'd joyfully meet me up there somewhere.
The brilliant colors of a distant rainbow
taunted me from just beyond the reach of my extended arms.
I saw, and so I called out to you at once
with every ounce of harmonic breath I could muster.
You glanced my way for one brief moment in time,
ceasing your playful ways to acknowledge me with a smile.
But as quickly as a promise ever reminded
can fade into a distant horizon like the sun bidding adieu,
you winked and carried on: a single ray of light dancing
amidst a seemingly dark and hopeless horizon.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

Wow... Its amazing how now I'm looking at this through the eyes with which I'm seeing. I guess sometimes you just have to crawl instead of walk.

God bless,

*waves* Hi Carri!
How beautiful. I'm listening to Blackbird by The Beatles at the moment and it is the most beautiful accompaniment to your poem.

Good to see your name, and to read your words.

Courtney.
