    Whispers of a Dream

    Wings of steel sail across the blue expanse,

    Leading the vapor trail to the light of the sun;

    So high, free from madness and sin,

    A lone angel dares to fly on this creation

    Of man, the wind cleanses my mind of all

    That is less;

     

    The lonely one lying below sees through

    My eyes and embraces the liberty I thought

    Only I had found;

    I close my eyes and embrace the clouds,

    Alas, no clouds to embrace, but I imagine

    What lies ever so high beyond this vastness

    Of blue;

     

    I turn away from the darkness of the human

    Mind and break away from the anger and hatred

    That eats from the inside;

    I open my arms wide, breathe, then open

    My eyes, there is no sky, I think I’m in space,

    I gaze around me, then the wind carries me

    Sailing back into the sea of blue once again,

    But the world is left far behind;

    I, alone, go forward into this undiscovered

    Unknown, still clinging to a glimpse of a

    Dream come true, and then I look and finally

    See . . . and I . . . the unworthy . . .

    Close my eyes once again . . . and reach . . .

    And touch the edge of heaven . . .

    Clinches... Can you describe the sea as something other than blue.

    Awesome poem very vivid images painted with your words. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to reading more from you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
