If I Could Fly

If I could fly on Summer's breeze and leave behind my selfish pleas Glimpse Nature's handiwork supreme See the Earth in different themes, Nature's weave and magical tease. I'd sit at night on blossomed trees Watch Heaven's stars alight with ease then race a passing, bright moonbeam If I could fly... On fragrant breeze, find Summer's keys Open wings of lavender leaves No longer tied to worldly schemes Just Breeze and I to search for dreams Watch magic woven by degrees. If I could fly...

Dear Anne, You're so very kind. You really cheer me up. I had a hard time learning how to write a Rondeau, for some reason. Now I see it's not that hard. Maybe I need more protein :) Take care!

Thanks so much, Andrea! I had a really hard time learning how to write a Rondeau. When I finally got it, it wasn't that hard ~ duh.
