take my hand, fly with me
jump into the abyss
and soar on the currents of the wind
over rooftops
down to the trees
touching the water's crests
leaving a trail of blazing light
and lungs breathless
before rising high
high into blue skies
towards the sun
towards the stars
towards the welcome blackness
of a beyond
never-ending
Shadow, I am always most seduced by your shadowy words...
ReplyDeleteIf my imagination does not go somewhere it's never been, what else is there for it to do?
ReplyDeleteIf it goes somewhere none have ever been, it can lead us all to that unsurpassed happiness, our goal, perfect peace, perfect love.
You, Shadow are one of those imaginative "leaders" IMO.
Gratias
Leaves me wanting more Shadow.

Hello, just wanted to stop by and say how much I've enjoyed reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cool and interesting blog and I look forward to reading more.

Man, off into another world.... to escape.... what a graphic! Shadow, well done. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll i wanted was a road trip but I can go for this too, take my hand...1...2...3...JUMP!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you....we can soar together through life as we know it. You are definitely a super lyricist in your own right.

ReplyDeleteFULL VIEW THIS PHOTO IMMEDIATELY!
I see an angel wearing sunglasses in the nebula.
Gods what a sweet image! Love the silhouette of the Lady With Sonrays in the cloud behind the star there...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visual-- image AND words...
okay!...I think you just took us all there with you
ReplyDeleteYour poem has a bit of the same feel to it as my last one did, although you clearly are more eloquent and mine was not a poem, but an emotional response to my week and a call for others to do some good. Asking people to fly, as your poem seems to be doing, is often the easy part. The hard part seems to be in getting them to really do it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Shadow. Thank you.
Marvelous poem, more than a poem to me is the lyric of a song, a song sang by a guy in the 40, with a velvet kind of tone caming out of his mouth. The only part that was out of that time is when it says
ReplyDeleteOf the beyond never ending. Which is a fantastic philosophical/contemporary phrase
Sounds like a great ride Shadow. I've jumped into the abyss on a submersible before and it was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteSighing in blissful surrender. With Raven on the top of my totem, flight and wings is a delightful dream of unmeasurable porportions. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteIm there :o)
