On Flying Tormented are the oceans Spellbound by the moon Earth’s rotating axis Turning time too soon. Gravitating to the astral Eclipsing all we know Mysteries perpetually locked Inside this celestial show. What lies beyond we’ve pondered Since human life transpired, Allotting human qualities - Shapes philosophy inspired. But now many moons have come Without a glance toward sky Obsessions lying within self, We’ve forgotten how to fly. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne~ Well .... you've certainly got those thoughts 'flying' to the page. This is pretty ... 'Gravitating to the astral Eclipsing all we know Mysteries perpetually locked Inside this celestial show.' And this is kinda sad ... 'But now many moons have come Without a glance toward sky Obsessions lying within self, We’ve forgotten how to fly.' I soar every day ... if only in my mind. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Too bad some people grow up and never remember how to spread their arms out and pretend to fly either! Nicely written. I enjoyed this.  |

Corinne, I read this and I wonder what you had said. Then it hit me, as we really have forgotten how to fly. Very meaningful and very nice. |

Thanks, Marge, I know, I KNOW I should have written (except for Marge!) LOL Thanks, Poet deVine, I guess it's kind of a celestial version of stopping to smell the roses. Thank you, Bill, that's exactly what I meant! Corinne |

There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Sounds like you have not forgotten how to fly. This is a wonderful piece and yes we should spread our wings everyday and thank you for that sweet reminder. |

This poem is outstanding. The queen of the night is surely honored. As a Luna lover I say Bravo! Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Obsessions lying within self, We’ve forgotten how to fly ... Wise thoughts... very counter-productive in provoking the reader to think... you have captivated this reader for sure... Thanks for that, Corinne.. regards, sudhir |
