Little crystal dove outside my window pane you flutter your wings of glass and set my heart burning How fragile and tiny you are quite impractical in your beauty Yet amazing in your strength As you soar and rise trusting the wind to hold you and to set you free An impossible crystal dove outside my window decorating my cage with your wildly fractured light And your unbound imaginations To me you are freedom and you are hope You are yearning and longing My deepest wishes for what should be Just a tiny crystal dream fragile and impossible Who trusts the wind to keep her and fears not being dashed on the rocks Who lets the light inside her and is in turn made lovely with beautiful chaotic colors Exquisite crystal dove alight on my window sill and flutter your wings of glass Fill my heart with bravery and call me from this cage To fly away Up into the skies where I too, can be like you Beautiful and impractical And impossibly free "I'll tell you how the sun rose A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson |

"Fill my heart with bravery and call me from this cage To fly away Up into the skies where I too, can be like you Beautiful and impractical And impossibly free" I think it worked. If your poetry is an example, it did. It's a beauty! Enjoyed. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

A beautifully rendered piece of work, MorningStar. To be as a beautiful, free bird is the desire of many of us, and you told of your desire perfectly. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Aenea, what a delight to see you back again! You have been missed! And with what delicate beauty yet powerful magnificence you alight back into Pip with the sunlit wings of your little bird friend! I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVE "Impossibly Free." While I love the poem just the way it is, I must comment that freedom is NOT impossible. I too adore my freedom. I lose it from time to time, but oh, how I celebrate it again and again when I regain it, as I have recently. You go, girl! Keep writing and keep posting. Smiles. Owl |
