Best Gliding Poems

love
this dove
glides above
the hush of night
on its endless flight
to share this song of plight
my voice tarried on night's wings
soul's symphony to you it brings
this melody within my heart's strings

lonesome nightingale
serenades the airwaves
searching for his soul mate

lone pelican gliding
against the evening sky
so effortlessly

blown in with the wind
hummingbird nuzzles a bloom
and is blown away again...

bagpipes started singing
of her Amazing Grace,
flowers started dancing
the twinkle on her face 

feeble are some steps
but with unflinching pride
she picks up her head
and the lift in her stride 

sweeping past her subjects
the moriahs drift her wake,
the beauty in her heart 
breaks my breast to ache...

We settled into the bay and,
Like lovers kicking the sheets down,
We grabbed and furled, grabbed and furled,
Unveiling a red vista.

You never told me you loved me,
And I never had the guts to speak.
So we threw cherry bombs at each other
From the safe side of a...

Sails gliding on the shimmering sea,
don't be hasty to engulf silence 
as the chapel's choir engages in a spiritual oratorio praising Him;
an octave higher or lower brings
their inspirational hymn to a desired sound of felicity...
those tones that the loud organ makes!



We, as they, are lifted...

the roaring     crashing
           music of the blue ocean . . .

We glided,
We rolled,
We circled the rink,
Smooth, orderly throng
Of teens young-naïve;
Shyly, boys glanced
At girls slipping past,
Hearts drumming firm
For couple’s skate time,
When lights faded dim
And music beat slowed,
When dolled, giddy girls
Convened in a row
While orbiting boys
Gathered the mettle
To approach a pert face,
Suggesting it skate.
Then, hand taking hand,
Boy...

fleeting shadow
of crow in flight

my chest is freezing over, its getting hard to breath,
how much must i travel, still i can barely see,
the rain is falling down, in a thick and gray haze, 
its dark and dismial in this early morning day,
my breath comes short in shallow pants,

Strong wings spread out wide

Sharp claws breaking through the air

With protective eyes..

A day at the cliffs, dancing with wind shifts.
There’s nothing like this, a day of pure bliss.
Safety must come first, to avoid the hearse.
Helmet for your head, harness or you’re dead

With glider in hand, it’s time to leave land.
You need to run swift, to catch...

I watch you soar in your thermal.
I wonder what that must be like to feel.
See you glide using your wings tips as rudders.
What skills nature bestowed on thee.

I watch in awe of your splendour.
Power and precision with such ease.
You bank and dive with such majesty,...

This is meant to be a manual, a set of sober instruction
that you can use, once you get past this lengthy introduction,
as a “how to” for learning to feel what it feels like when you fly,
and to free your earthbound body so you can scamper...

The elegant mute swan,
Gliding through the water,
It's feet under the water,
Going like the clappers....
