Taking Flight
I’m flying so much better than I did before
No matter how hard I really flapped my wings
I could not rise above the heads of my guests
And now I soar over rooftops and see too much.
I night-fly with moon high or with a pitch black sky
When the town below is sound asleep; I glide by
The upper windows where the people cry & cry
I linger there, shed some tears and then away I fly.
People make up stories now about the change in me.
They buy their sweets, whispering about me in the bakery
Some say I am a stalking soul, I am evil and I steal gold
Actually I have compassion, but I’m just lonely, truth be told.
I never asked for this gift of flight, it came to me one night,
While I was crying in my upstairs room, I fell asleep into a swoon
All night in dreams, I learned to fly, not too high, not in the sky,
Through the rooms, cruising waist high, but when I awoke, I still could fly.
And the next day and the week after that and now it’s part of me.
I’ve learned to not talk about it much, for envy and fear and such.
I am progressing rapidly in my patterns, altitude and flying skills…
Today, I could just fly away as no one makes me feel that I should stay.

Hi Karima ! I’m not much of a drinker now days anyhow. Right now I am feeling a little down. I have 2 friends missing in Israel. No contact for a while.Praying for them.
Good people. Husband and wife. Bad timing. Waiting for a communication for about 4 days. They were there when Hamas launched their chicken shit sneak attack.
This “stuff” seems to never end. I pray for Peace…..but first there is work to be done.
It seems like there is no end to this insanity. Got any ideas Karima ?

your flying poem reminds me of a skill one can learn, of being the detached observer. one rises above the purely personal to discern the undercurrents & the vaster patterns at play in the situation. such a proclivity does set one apart at times, & living a simple & uncomplicated human life isnt as easy as it may appear!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼not when additional dimensions begin their siren song💖❤️💖

Wow! I can see that similarity very well. Anything that sets us apart as “different” even a positive, can be misunderstood and many times judged. I loved your thoughtful comment soulkin..This poem is an example of just ‘starting’ …and you know what I mean 🤗❤️🌹☀️

You have always been a good flyer. It has given you a view of the world that others don’t have access to. But you share your discoveries through your writing and story telling.
