Poem
In my sleep I had a strange dream Around my shoulders two wings sprouted They whispered to me in gentle tones “Now that you have wings, Don’t you wish to shed your earthly existence Like the sloughed skin of a snake To rise high and higher To sail beyond sunset, to fly far, far away To soar into the seamless skies To levitate in ether, to feel weightless To float amid twinkling stars To collide against constellations To tour round as on a magic carpet And dive into the oceanic depths of space If you wish so, soar like a bird.... Now that you have wings, Nothing will impede you on your way You can ascend higher and still higher Dancing like the flame of candle light No shutters, no pad lock, no keys You can mutate and shape- shift and be a falcon There amid the galaxies, you can build a palace Floating on clouds, you can dream in peace With none to intrude or interrupt your calm No laws of gravity shall pull you down You may stay awhile in that magic kingdom And experience how blissful it is to have a pair of wings” I heard the wings giving a final warning “Now that you have wings, Spread them wide and own the sky If you keep them folded, you’ll stay where you are Never shall you rise even an inch higher” ~Placed First~ For Strand's (1073) Poetry Contest 12. Jan. 2022 Whispering Wings Poetry Contest Sponsor- Chantelle Anne Cooke
