Wings

~ a heartprint ~

 

Lauri Blank ~ Courage to Soar

 

 

On the wings of a memory…

 

she flies

through yesterday’s skies,

where winds warm the ribbons of clouds

tied gently around her heart

 

and so she flies

 

head held high, eyes a bit blurry

but still

eyes that see

somewhere beyond this endless sky

 

where rainbow painted words of hope

flutter

on the wings of love

 

and sunbeams dance

and love still waits…

 

as warm as the wind

as gently as the ribbons of clouds

that keep her holding on to a memory

 

she flies

did you see the picture and write .. or write and find the picture .. either way they are perfectly put together ... she reminds me of a tattoo i have on my ribs of the water bearer ( i am an Aquarian) .. the dress and pose are very similar ..

you do such a fine job! i never fail to feel the dream and heartbeat of romance from your poetry .. sigh.................. ;)

Very beautiful words to accompany just as beautiful an image. Loved the pace and smoothness with which the woman in the piece is described, there's such grace and mysteriousness in it. Great write julie! Cheers :)

Wow. That's the first word that came to mind after I read this. Wow. I feel like I always point out imagery whenever I do a review, but I have to! The way you describe the clouds and the wind is so rich, yet so beautifully simple. Your use of rhyme just as free as the character flying through the skies is just wonderful. It seems like poetry comes so naturally to you, like the words write themselves, and you're just along for the ride. It takes a very special person to be able to do that. I know I'm very new to this site, but this is the best poem that I've read so far. I really really want to see what you in store for us next. You are a very talented writer.
