I Dream of Flying

     The Blessing Bringer by Lisa Graham

I dream of flying.

And in my dream

all the familiar things

fall away

until I am perfectly alone.

There is nothing

but wind and sun and me.

I have no

wax-wings to melt,

or finger-feathers to molt.

I do not hold on

to Superman’s cape.

I simply

 follow the curve of the earth

towards tomorrow

like all the heroes do.

This is for all the lovely toads in The Garden.  Grace has introduced the paintings of Lisa Graham, which can be found here Lisa Graham Art.  Follow both links to check out all the lovely poetry and paintings!
