That ones' breathing should gauge the effects of a place stands as testament bouyed by the gentlest of winds. Just a hint of a breeze, its' slight touch on your face, speaks of vistas out-stretched where the atmosphere thins. Like the thermals which rise to provide needed lift, are thoughts granted ascent through an effortless glide. In the strata to drift as a wraith, a mere wisp on the currents outbound where the skies open wide. Are these avian dreams or some ancestral trait, rising out of the fog, on some level, somewhere? In a manner of speech, seen from this vantage point, these are matters described as much lighter than air. |

Startime55, Thank you ,I'm truly glad you enjoyed. Doc Dear Marge, You can fly with me anytime. Doc Iliana, Thanks so much. I believe it was Nancy Ness who said ( when speaking about plaigerism ) "Sometimes words are all a poet has", and, I must agree because lord knows it sure doesn't pay very well. Doc |

"That ones' breathing should gauge the effects of a place stands as testament bouyed by the gentlest of winds.

This touched me in so many ways... Thank you. A keeper for sure. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Susan, I'm glad you liked. I know I enjoyed writing it. Doc Earth Angel, Thank you very kindly. I'm glad you liked. Doc Dear Martie, Who was it that said " All words lead to poems?" Yeah, I don't know either, but, It sounded good at the time. Thank you! Doc |
