..8.. floating

12/13/01



i dream of floating

across the front lawn

in the long jump in the olympics

thinking, oh when shall i come down



floating anywhere, everywhere

in my dreams, yet so real

when i wake, i still have this feel

i still think i can fly



floating to far distant lands

to see all sights from above

peace, flowing love, they can see me

but they don't see me at all



which is fine, as they can't hurt me

or touch me, this way

there is not even a thought of that now

i'm just floating, and seeing it all



loving -- though i dare not intertwine

with the dreams of my love

overwhelming, but scary

what if she does not want me there



maybe such thoughts, such dreams

would be too much to bear

though anywhere else... i can go

anywhere

I love to this poem! It so reminded me of dreams that I have had my whole life. If I could articulate my flying dreams, floating dreams, they would be amazing tales. I must say, you have inspired me. Bless you for sharing. Patricia Hermes

It's a fine feeling to be free to just be, but also important that we are allowed to "see" into what other's are and feel and have to share.

There is no stopping you. You've done it again, so now I know it wasn't a blunder. This is you one of the great. I love this one too. Thanks for sharing your writing. Doris
