Rising Dreams So quiet, so quiet. Shhh. Whisper. It is dark, but not, it is light, almost, and within myself I feel the urge to rise, always hesitant at first, the fear of falling ever-heightened. I am always alone at this time. I know it is since no one must descry: I can fly! And I do so, willingly, even with the uncertainty the fear always brings. Once my mind overcomes the apprehension, the magic euphoria of the uplifting freedom then emerges, and I can look ahead, and back, upward, and down, my only fear now of hearing a voice that will cause me to crash. This part is the time I cherish best, the total freedom, the weightlessness, and the elegant beauty from the heights I can reach. By myself. Alone. I share the nightly day-time firmament with no birds, no mechanical structures, no butterflies. I wonder why no butterflies. Sometimes the lift into the heavens comes slowly; other times I am just there overhead, looking down on me. I hope in my dreams I shall always be given flight. ©KRJ 28 August 1999 |

Kari love, didn't I say you were born to fly love, didn't I? Now YOU know from where the inspiration for the phoenix comes from. As always love, in all to be uplifted to soar. And flying beside you will always be me  Sisterhood of the Phoenix, we are arisen, take to the sky love and keep on flying high You know I love this don't you. Take care love Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Doreen, no one will ever tell you not to believe, or that you can't fly...because you do, and you shall! |
