Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Bridging Heaven and Earth

Fueled by atmospheric ecstasy
Into ethereal regions' mystery,
  Tilting wings cavalierly,
  Bridging Heaven and Earth,
  Gliding gracefully.

Falcon, sky-hawk, hoopoe, finch
Starling, sparrow, blue-jay, Grinch;
  What matter the appellation?
  The feeling's the same---
  Incessant ceaseless sensation

Jealous we gaze, stricken with admiration
At creatures without borders, without nations:
  Would that we could bask in their bounty
  Would that we could sip from their stations.

Gregory Richard Barden March 22, 2018 at 2:41 AM Would that we could soar through their ceaseless sky and integral purpose ... to LIVE, (not just planning/hoping to). Wonderful write, my friend, and so rife with wisdom and truth. Bravo, Poet! :-) Gershon Wolf March 22, 2018 at 9:13 AM You have made my day, and probably my week, if not my life, Gregory R. I have learned so much and gleaned so much from reading and re-reading your poems. So, to receive praise from you is humbling for me to the nth degree---and quite astonishing, frankly. (In high school I got an 'F' in AP English on our 9-week poetry 'unit,' and even refused to read poetry in class...As the world turns, eh?). Thank you so much, my friend. :) gw
