Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

Big Blue Marble

I had a dream the other night
Dreamt of flying, what a sight

Soared above our big blue marble
What I saw, I could only marvel

Inspired by the peaceful scene
The oceans blue, the forests green

If only man could soar so high
He'd view it all with a different eye

From way up there, no sign of war
No sign of hunger, of nations poor

Harmony reigns with joy supreme
Gliding o'er this tranquil scene

Call me a dreamer, maybe I am
Great way to be, I understand

What life's about and why we're here
Making friends, spreading cheer

Defining laws of right from wrong 
Singing a chorus of freedom's song

Looking forward to a better day
We can only hope and only pray

I had a dream the other night
Dreamt of flying, what a sight

Soared above our big blue marble
What I saw, I could only marvel

Laura Breidenthal May 20, 2015 at 5:22 AM Oh yes, the dreamers make the best poets, the best lovers, and the best inspirers. You inspire me every day! It truly amazes me that you merely started up poetry a couple of years ago. You are so so good at what you do! I imagine you are a very artistic and loving individual in person. I have dreamt of flying many times..."Harmony reigns with joy supreme Gliding o'er this tranquil scene" Love those lines.Your words and imagery soothe me in this one. Always, Laura Jack Ellison May 20, 2015 at 9:02 AM Oh my, how you touch my heart and soul! I find it so unbelievable somehow, that I've never met anyone who seems to understand me inside and out the way you do! The years separating us have absolutely no bearing... I am blessed by your friendship! Simply, I love you Laura, your forever friend,Jack xxx
