Tim Smith Poet Free verse

I Write

Tiptoeing towards the edge of the towering cliff

I flap my wounded wings and fly

over tall two hundred year old oak trees

up to the top of the highest of mountains

scanning a never ending sovereign sky

I glide effortlessly in the strong southern trade winds

watching the fawn and her doe in the wilderness 

My heart starts to beat, and I write

I write of the fragrant fancy free daisies growing unrestrained

of the sun smiling down 

reflecting in the fast flowing babbling brook

of the doe munching on the savory green and yellow grasses

oblivious to her surroundings , the fawn firmly within her sight

I hear the songs coming from the red breasted baby Robin

calling to her mother wondering when she'll return with dinner

 my heart beats lovingly and I write

I soar higher and higher heading for the heavens

past the mammoth yellowish orange coloured moon

through the mysteries of the milky way

all along thinking of the mysteries lying inside you

I open my eyes, imagine I'm with you and I write
