The Sky Was a Thousand Miles High

I swear today the sky was a thousand miles high.
I could see to the very edge, until there was no more.
Imagine gliding with the wind, so free, so wild.
What I wouldn’t give to fly a thousand miles high.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
