Once, I took a leap of faith
Sure that I could fly
Certain I would touch the clouds
In the endless sky
Floating on the winds of hope
With a dreamers wings
Searching for my Shangri-La
And the joy it brings

Oh so high above the Earth
Reason cast aside
Laughing at the fools below
On the breeze I'd ride
Knowing, deep within my heart
I would surely find
That which I so clearly saw
In my dreamers mind

Alas...

Soon the clouds did turn to gray
Wind became a gale
Plunging downward through the air
Wings to no avail
Burning like a shooting star
Guess I should have known
Once, I took a leap of faith...

And dropped just like a stone

Well my heart certainly fell along with this poem---almost to the point of tears. I wish so many good things for you L. But where you see a fallen stone---I see a majestic rock, submersed in water, turning darker and darker---until one day someone finds it and....

They shine it dry and discover that the most beautiful stone in the world---now belongs to them and to think it fell from the very heavens...

It never hurts to dream, never stop....

Kie (Who was quite moved by this one)

Such is a case of hindsight. Yet do not give up, my friend. One day love will find you and you will fly like a kiss in the wind to your love. This is beautiful and touches my heart. Brings a couple of tears too, for I have been there and felt that sad despair. The light is always just around the next corner they say. Let's hope they are right.

Hugs,
Rita

Oh, how well I could relate
To this simple tale of fate
Finding out that if you wait
Lessons learned

Sometimes come late

Larry, this was just breath taking. You really do know how to write poem. You seem to have a high standard in your poems. I love it.

Been there, done that.

I still get up, mend my broken wings and sail once more into the blue.

Your write brings you to life, yes very alive and visual write.

a very spiritual insight for all of us.

Keep on dreaming.. the clouds are not always gray.

The winds that do prevail in the skies, settle down.

I know, hard drop.. hang in their bud..
