I stood there on the edge of the mountain
wind pushing against my body and soul
my feet gripping the line where eternity begins
and earth ends, like sharp talons grasping
as I fell forward into the cushion of air
the invisible barrier holding me as I peered below
like an eagle ready to take flight
no hesitation, just awe at the image of forever
as I flew without leaving the ground.
The fingers of clouds held me still
as the sweet breath of the wind whispered into my soul
and there was no fear of death
no thoughts of what stood behind me
beyondย the edge for I had become
a feathered machine turning my head
seeing the impossible in every degree
and I flew in the dream into tomorrow
with words hanging like butterflies
gently landing on my shoulder
knowing not to touch for fear of breaking
the fragile wings that moved back and forth
before taking flight
into the unknown.
The buoyant mind soaring on the current of thought
drifting down into the depths of sleep,
alive and the memory of the dream
never skipping a beat upon waking
refreshed from my flight into the universe.
I’ve changed up my blog a little bit as you can see, so please let me know if you like the new theme and layout, what works for you and what doesn’t. I think it suits me but time will tell, as we are constantly evolving creatures and sometimes changing it up a bit charges up the old soul. Peace and love and no, I’m not jumping off of mountains….just a cool dream I had last night where I fell into forever but was held up by the wind, I just love dreams like that. So exhilarating.
Good morning kim
Just stopped by to say hello
Hope all went well

One of my favorite dreams are the ones when you soar in the wind. Captivating poetry, and your new layout is easy to read and streamlined.

most likely another hot one for you too there? Seems hot everywhere…getting acclimated to it thought. Still have to listen to your beautiful voice, read the poem which in itself is a glorious thing and can’t wait to hear you speak it. Long day yesterday, cable guy here installing Direct TV, five months with an antennae just wasn’t cutting it. At least we can get CBS now ๐ priceless indeed. Peace love and happy Sunny Sunday and high five paw to Jernee ๐

The only thing that matters is that it makes you happy, thus, I’m happy. I’m going to get up, take Jernee for a little walk, go and get some Starbucks, come back home to cook breakfast, then do a ton of reading before running errands. It’s going to be a busy Sunday for me. big hugs

Thanks Sheldon,
It was a very cool dream and I’m glad I remembered it for the most part intact. It was the coolest sensation, almost like free flying but being held up on the edge by the air, yet feeling like you’re flying. Way cool indeed ๐ Peace, love and good morning. K

I always read items in Reader format, but I did go to your site to view your layout. Purple words for you as that is one of your favorite colors. I am not a big fan of purple (as you know), but this suits you well. It’s soft, sweet, peaceful, and welcoming.
Also, so are these lines:
“beyond the edge for I had become
a feathered machine turning my head
seeing the impossible in every degree
and I flew in the dream into tomorrow
with words hanging like butterflies
gently landing on my shoulder
knowing not to touch for fear of breaking
the fragile wings that moved back and forth
before taking flight
into the unknown.
The buoyant mind soaring on the current of thought
drifting down into the depths of sleep,
alive and the memory of the dream”
You’re amazing, Kim!
