The Sky Admirer
(This is from a long time ago, but I was reminded of it by mirror man's, "circumstance 11"

Sometimes I wish
that I could find
an empty land
where I could stand
pure
in the desert dust,
swim on a glass lake.
I could be
a serene swan
or a lily,
the sky my admirer.

But one lone lily
hears no laughter,
a swan
in a lake without ripples
feels no touch
and the sky does not admire me
I admire the sky.

Still, sometimes I wish
that I could find
an empty land
that I could fill,
where sweet stars fall
and noble deeds grow
and songs sing each to each
and home is the heart.

Martie.. i wish the same for myself... sometimes I wish I could build me a castle made from the strongest of loves.. (and none of that cheap imitation crap neither!)
where I could drift in the boundless sapphire sky forever at peace.
Perhaps we shall find this peace one day. I wish you godspeed

Gosh, Martie, I don't know what to say.

Still, sometimes I wish
that I could find
an empty land
that I could fill,
where sweet stars fall
and noble deeds grow
and songs sing each to each
and home is the heart.

If I inspired you to even repost this, I am greatly honored. Thank you very much.

anytime the sky is in the title of one of your writes...I know your muse is on high and the poem will make me sigh...

*sigh* I don't think I can ever get used to admiring the gentleness you weave into everything you write...this is beautiful...now I am going to search for the poem that inspired it...I am so glad that it did...**big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
