On Solid Ground - El

My feet are on solid ground,
for to the earth I am bound.
Though I hear river flowing
and see the full moon glowing -
a pie in star-studded sky -
I do not dream I may fly.
My feet are on solid ground.

To one on my favorite poets: my wife won't let me buy that paraglider so I am stuck on terra firma as well. (And, John Watt's analysis is spot on.) Very nice work as usual!

Now I know what 'pie in the sky' is talking about. Nicely worded musings on dreams and reality struggling for domination. Congrats on your POTD, my friend

Great verse, Andrea, I saw this yesterday and forgot to comment. I am so sorry , I don't know where my head is sometimes. I am seeing my neurologist Monday for a follow up after test because of this same issue. I am not ready for a rest home. Congratulations on POTD. Hugs Eve
