Shall I journey on, past fields that have so often wept? Forward, to the receded shores, out past the break line to the surf Shall I carry on the waterfalls to rivers, in their mighty surge to full extent? Without you, only bedding for the dunes and the winged spirits playground Shall I seek the comfort of the trees, in their wisdom and their mighty strength? Motioned, only ledge and charcoal dust, too thick a blanket in their deluge Shall I walk where once we warmed in play to chase the rainbows with butterfly nets? Without you, only floors and carpets, wilted in the dry and desolate silence of the fall Shall I walk, through the clay-capped paths into the desert? Onward, without drink and without rain, thirsting for the moisture of your kiss Shall I fall, bruised and broken in the cracked and aging outcrops of a sad tomorrow? Without you, only restless sleep and dreams of gray would thin the heavy-hearted air Shall I journey, shall I fly, in linen finery and feather light a bubble swept? Upward, to the stormy clouds above the weighted temperatures of sullenness Shall I fly, into your thoughts,impressed upon our palms in strong contented currents? Shall I fly? Shall I...fly?

Kathy, hop onboard this magic carpet I have and I will take you high into the atmosphere that you might spread your wings and fly, fly wherever you might desire... If I told you that I used to dream of flying on many occasions...would you think I was just a bit teched in the haid..... |

Kathleen, if your wings are there, journey and if they're in disrepair time will heal new plumage will erupt and you will fly again. [This message has been edited by ecrivan (09-07-2002 11:38 PM).] |

Shall I walk, through the clay-capped paths into the desert? Onward, without drink and without rain, thirsting for the moisture of your kiss Shall I fall, bruised and broken in the cracked and aging outcrops of a sad tomorrow? Without you, only restless sleep and dreams of gray would thin the heavy-hearted air I absolutely love your imagery, Kathy... What a beautiful poem!!!!! ~ lots of hugs from MichiganLyra |
