FLIGHT LIGHT(Re-worked)
1 September 2001 / 6 April 2006

Searching sky-eyed
for your wings
in soft colours

waiting like a lake
for you
to call my name
in leaf shapes

listening for your almost-breath
in breeze-songs
of low ocean murmurs

and I call on thunder thoughts
to roll in rain-promised air
and I am here
in the midst of them
ablaze and ready
with sun-splashed lips
to wrap you acquiescent
in trembling birdsong.

- Owl

Thank you, curiouse, Martie, Earth Angel, JL and passing shadows.  

This poem was written in response to the poem of a boyfriend of that time.  I felt that mine was very mediocre in comparison to his, but managed to improve it a little bit recently.
