I Wish I wish I could soar to the tall mountain’s height On eagle’s spread wing in the swiftness of flight So I could look down at the greeness below Through eyes of the eagles and know what they know I wish I could float on the back of a whale Through waters of wonder to playfully sail And dive to the depths of the ocean below To be at the heart of the secrets they know I wish I could cling to a jaguar’s soft tail And follow him all through the rainforest trail Along water’s edge where the Amazon flows Consuming the splendor of places he knows I would like to ride on a butterfly wing I don’t think it odd to request such a thing For I can go anywhere butterfly knows In verses of poetry, anything goes Elizabeth |

Hi Liz, Beautiful poetry here, and you are so right about going any were you want in your muse, I remember this trip I once took with a friend and I got to see a purple cow ill never forget that trip, Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist.
