In the Sky

"The ax is always cutting down the forest. Thank God it can't cut down the clouds." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Come with me


High above the ground


We'll fly far over the land


And look down


To all that is below


 


Soar with me into my castle


I have built it here


On the tallest peak


And in the folds of nimbus


We will speak


 


Stay awhile longer


But never forget


There's never a time


To look back with regret


When we've come down again

Read lots of your wonderful poetry. You are yourself and show it in your writing and you are going to go far in life. The 60's were a lot better than now I think in some way, but thanks for writing inspiring poems and all. Take care and chug along and keep sane in this mad mad world.

I like the imagery here too and feel like just flapping my arms to touch one of those clouds.
Reviewed by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner 2/6/2005
Beautifully imaged, especially love the lines,

"...and in the folds of nimbus
we will speak...." <------------------EXCELLENT!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
