shrilly zinging at breakneck speeds to descend earthward in delight, only to turn about face upward so fast as to alarm even split second timing straight up winged flight dizzies Look at me mom look at me fly solo soars now more often than not, apron strings flap wildly barely he is tied by the need for mother’s appreciation so momma prayed that each day given not be the one when he would double dare the sun and until thirty six days into his twenty ninth year her prayers were answered now as ashen remains are safely gathered forever after to have and to hold, denial’s inward gaze embraces the picture of his tiny open mouth waiting to suckle but love insists she lift her head and recall the beauty of his zinging across the sky and press into her memory for the sound of Look at me mom look at me fly [This message has been edited by jellybeans (07-07-2004 05:49 PM).] |

Oh, lady... this touches me so. *S* Some flights don't last nearly long enough... but the memory of such beauty never leaves us. *S* Excellent work, my friend... I know he's smiling! *S* |

I literally read your poem three times and I am feeling so emotional right now, that words fail me. No response that I could write could do justice to what I have just read... Love & Light Eternal, EA |
