I hear the river trickle past as I sit upon a tree limb
I fear not for I have wings
Finally the wings of freedom
With this came the eyes to see beyond
All I have been taught all the world perceptions
To know now, what most call magic
In this realm I seek only love and light
For I now know that is what we, most are
Some tread the waters of the dark
So I must stay rooted and do lights part
Spreading even with a smile
With my doings not my words
That this light is nothing to fear
It is the core of all beliefs
Just look beyond with closed eyes
And you might just find the soothing of the light

Connie, talking of perceptions, my perceptions of this poem: unique, poetic, inspirational, as uplifting as the wings of an albatross, as beautiful as a dewdrop, as lasting as a diamond, as real as the sun, as memorable one's beliefs, as powerful as the sea, and one that I can relate to very well. Well done!  May many read it and benefit as much as I did from it!
