edge of heaven

a feeling of hope

Watch me now
as I take flight
I’ll fly so high
that I just might
Touch the edge of heaven

If I had hands
instead of wings
You and I would do
so many things
We would dance
We would sing
We would make love
and thus find
Our own piece of heaven.

I wrote this five years ago, it was written to go with the photograph I use for my blog, and was posted at my original blog, which I recently decided to rebuild in it’s new home here. The poem was written with a feeling of hope and from a place of determination, a feeling and a place I find myself in once again….
