To let go of reality . . . with mozart playing I close my eyes and I am a beautiful blue bird fluttering Drifting on the wind, I soar Over emerald valleys deep and cold streams winding My wings tremble and quiver Upon a weeping willow with her hanging head, I rest And I dip my beak into the cold aqua water This is the power of music It will take you far from your reality- if you let it High above I look down on a flower meadow Hover, then glide on a cool breeze Truly, I am a blue bird fluttering A forest with a cathedral dome embraces me with love I want to stop and pray and do sing a blue bird song A cliff high and a garden lovely I just let go . . . of reality And float in a sweet reverie with no pain or sorrow The music is my soul My muse the wings that flutter Sublime and divine is this dance Spinning, twirling, whirling, twisting A tangle of my imagination and mozart, entwine, mingle Then, I am falling, falling, falling Back into my earthly reality . . . . _____________________________ May 18, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/Letting Go of Reality Copyright Protected, ID 16-791-719-0 All Rights Reserved.

wow, THIS is wonderful, Constance. Wish I had thought of this unique take on the theme. I just entered an oldie of mine that had to do with wishing for something that was not reality. Love this.

To write vivid "imagery poetry" is a special gift! You've been "gifted' extensively! This seems to be the case on whatever you write! The very best to you Broken Wings in this contest!!!
