in flight through dream not often, no, never plenteous is the interval between the extant prize freedom when most tiredness comes from restlessness of soul when one's spirit is bound by commitment but there is a span of moment when the zealous soul can take flight, if there comes the dream come, dream come swift the interval of inbetween, after the uneasiness and lassitude lend the expanse between erratic sleep and restless groan and in Cimmerian imagination betwixt the eyelid and penumbra of midnight now, attend, and take flight with me come take height with me as then in the reverie to see ourselves from without and within and you, in sheerest skin take care, not to burst the bubble vigilant as not to burst the dream thus pathos steals over we in the intent of dark's dream of freedom and as our arms lie quiescent, serenely by our sides through thought of mind only, careful, take care not to burst the dream might I through thought raise we up, up, beyond the limb of the tree, breath held, up over the roof, careful not to touch the tile, lest burst the bubble of elevation, up, careful, mental image up and now, don't look, don't look but by my side, as you have traveled upward with me, we might float over, and spy on all below, the lights of the city bright, blinking, telling we to ascend higher, higher and we float, so soft, and fly, so high flighting higher, sighting skies of firefly light lightening bright in thunderless night and silken robes then grace our form, and soft we feel in all we are warm then to extend arms to weave through this night's time of symphony of quiet, quiet, come what may in seamless dream no flight delayed, and the tingle of the skin translucent in silvery flight stretch your fingers and grasp my hand to tingle together in paired delight then to slow, now, in descent of flight, shhhh, stay quiet not to burst this dream to fall to earth in restlessness and tiredness as grows slight the light, on horizon's night, ending now this dream of flight praise comes to you for attending to me as we skimmed toward freedom of night in flight through dream Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, that is an awesome poem, I've got goosebumps, oh this is outstandingly beautiful, even by your standards. This is incandescent, transcends mortal realm and flies light as an angels whisper and beautiful as the light from an infants face. I'm gobsmacked, again, (I'm sorry mam, Kari made me say it!) and stunned. Love this one love absolutely adore it. Take care MM Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
