If man were meant to fly....

Reflections From A Cessna The pillowed clouds advancing surging forward Then swiftly breaking For one short moment a glare of sun Then again the clouds Over the wingtips startling flashes red-green-gold Assault the peace Until the clouds emerge triumphant Victor - for a time - in The eons long war Below a phantasmagoria of woodland water road and town Above bland perfection of sky But who am I This intruder in the unreal What am I Doing here When I am Of the earth And it is my destiny to crawl upon my belly Rather than to soar.

O, Roger!

How I missed this one, I'll never know--a soaring write that left me gasping from its power--thank you, I am grateful, indeed; YOU ROCK!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *STANDING O*

I've always thought of myself as a salamander - from that position, the only view is up! (when I get the nerve to crawl from under my rock, that is!) Great imagery!

Back in full throttle, all systems GO, I'd say, Roger!

Even the format lends itself to the theme, which you give such keen visuals to. It's that entire last verse that gave me the goosebumps... and further proves that your poetic pen sings! This is really a fine piece. katy xox

You've painted quite a picture from that cessna, Roger, and even though we truly are belly crawlers, we should all attempt to soar whenever possible!

That cloud formation is showing up in many places.

Better you than I, I will drive anywhere I can before flying as one great philosopher once said, " Flying is "for the birds!" Cool pic though, that cloud with the hole looks really cool...Ed & Rufuz
