To Glide

—-<§>—-

dreams

like beautiful white seabirds

rise up

above the ocean’s shore

 

weightless

 

their wings sparkle

glinting

with salt and dawn-light

 

they sail

through morning fog

calling softly to the cliffs

to the pines that hold the sky aloft

 

when they descend .

to marry with the sea

each wave below

seems to fondle them

then lifts them to ascend —

 

as if the sea itself knows

their life to be on high

to circle where gulls cry

 

where the wind carries whispers

of what we once dared to be —

free

 

and for a breathless moment

we rise with them —

 

soaring —  shining

 

part of everything

that cannot be caged

 

celebrating hollow bones…

and freedom
