A poet friend sent this to me yesterday...she said she loved it and wanted to remind me of it...of course, I've written so many poems, I can never remember them, like some poets can...but I thought it would be so appropriate to our lives here at Mother In Laws Unite...I wrote this maybe 8 years ago...
I love the ocean....and after spending several vacations in the Bahamas, alone, relaxing and self examining...this poem was written..
Hope it gives you all a lift...
Just Fly
I am a primitive lady, dancing like a lost child
Unafraid in the desert where each face becomes
A gem of prayers answered lovely
Mild becomes a pulse under my wrist
Rare moments nibble at my shin
Orchestrating images from when I view & begin
Out through an opened window
An intergalactic flight takes me by the hand
Pointing & sketching out happiness as we fly
Into each remote possibility
There I look ahead with a natural smile and feeling of
Something
Making peace with all cruelty and sadness
Containing more music, beauty and transcendent
Hope out of the most trivial little things, things that normally
People forget to see.
And in this moment I take the elevator to
The 94th floor, screaming
Holy Cow!
brimming with poem
billowing to everyone there
Hey, do you see that, can you beat that view?
They just stand there smiling, lending me
the Good Fortune that furnishes a
wide opened Gulf Stream
I say,
"Hello Ocean"
screaming louder,
Hey you with the iron waves!
Thank you for inviting me, reminding me that I remain
A huge part of you, where I trust and crave this
Azure crested fist, a songwriter brocade of bliss
Kissing my skin all over and placing my heart in my throat
Where I claim this body breathing air into my lungs
You know, we live in a blue clear sky, shouting out our destinations
To the soul of nature,
where mid morning looks up at us
in great surprise
Smiling with waving hands of a trillion hellos.
when we arrive
I'm so happy
I polished my nails
& sprayed some favorite perfume
Glossing my lips feeling
more beautiful then before
Tying up all of life's
loose ends,
creating swirls & mosaic patterns
Adding to the big dipper
like a filling station of galaxies
Where everyone is love
It Gushes out & fills
all the empty spaces of the world
Drafting a universe underneath our eyelids,
if we could only see
& afford, that one moment
when we let go of everything and just Flew!
Fly believing for the first time
"I'm alive and this is Mine"!
And that is something very significant,
that no one can ever take away!
