Flying, In Theory and Reality
by Sandy M. Humphrey
I no longer earth bound
Know the freedom of having flown
Leapt with faith into the blue
Fallen free at speed unknown
Lifted up into wispy clouds
Awed by silence as we drifted down
Guided chute knew its way to earth
Landed softly on safe ground
When the world in chaos reigns
Close my eyes and visualize
Falling forward into the blue
Free falling through open skies
Being lifted up in One strong hand
Awesome silence still calms me
Floating faithfully in heavens light
My inner peace is flying free

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/13/07 at 08:10 PM I love you use of this as a meditative focus... "Close my eyes and visualize
Falling forward into the blue"...wonderful, wonderful. I understand the power of this for clarity and inner calm... to float into that experience as living metaphor. This is the true gift and link between imagination and experience-- and what our mind can do to our physical, emotional being...age old intense metaphorical visualization based on actual experience. And put into fine verse as well. Really a gift that you could communicate this. |
