In My Next Life

I will ride the thermals on golden wing
Through feathers the breeze shall sing

And all below shall win my eye
From tranquil clouds and cerulean sky

Dip and dive in a sun so bright
This golden coat of pure delight

Wings shall span and shadows cast
Primary coverts against the sun contrast

And to the aerie I shall glide
Where love is found at my lovers side

This craggy peak shall ethereal flow
Two hearts sated in sunsets glow

Primary coverts: outer wing feathers.

As one who often dreams of flying, you took me on a delightfully romantic flight in this poem, Daniel. Beautiful images of the birds and sky. Love, Carolyn

"Wings shall span and shadows cast Primary coverts against the sun contrast" I feel like that line is forced. Other than that I enjoyed it. Keep it up!
