F FORM Free verse (written my way) Contest Sponsored by Constance LA France "LIFE"

[44]" It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. [46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual."

1 Corinthians 15

"We all begin as winners in the race to fertilize. So we've all been the recipients of the most coveted prize... life. " -by the Poet:)

In my dreams I can fly, I can run like I have no mass. Weightless Anchorless No fear of falling, as if gravity is taking a much needed vacation. Movement made with mind not muscle Sights not seen with the eye Taking in sensation through my whole being. The MOON my silent stalker lighting my way Casting my shadow on the tree tops and fields. The shape unknown. FREE! The wind hitting my face, the scent of the pines. I hear the river below, racing me, leading me My secret shadow following the waves and flow Breaking apart On the rocks and spray. Is this the secret life of spirit? Known before time in heaven? Before the tethering rope of flesh. Is this recollection of floating in the waters of the womb? A life long past A life far in the future A life remembered, longed for, hoped for. A life of spirit Flying Free!

Wonderful imagery, Crystol, with so many imaginative word pictures - "rope of flesh," "taking in sensation through my whole being." I have read that when we dream of flying those dreams are the most advanced forms of dreams. Wonderful poem. Congratulations on your win! Blessings for your future flights.
