Take Wing

Young and innocent, I bow to you who are above me Your heart is out of reach and so I just adore thee I imagine and daydream of a summer when you hold me close Protecting me from any harm that crashed upon out coast But I just look on, my feet frozen below my lonely being Eyes drawing me into an unending daze of awe and for-seeing I am forever stuck in a spiral of unreturned adoration I cannot move; I dream of admiration A small fire it lies beneath my feet breaking me free from the ice I take a step close as I part my lips for you to hear words so nice The words I speak fill the meadow with my sweetest dream You response is a soft voice, your lips like a strawberry cream No longer do I have to cry or wait, no longer have felt the sting I can feel you hold me close and part of me is released taking wing Closing my eyes I relax into your soft body of warmth and protection You let me move; I envy the admiration

How well you describe the "spiral of unreturned adoration." A sophistocated style of recalling the feelings associated with lost love. Great work! Love, Carolyn
