On the wings of the wind
I fly through the sky
and the wings of the wind
raise me up to the high-
est point of the blue
so I’m nearer to You.
.
I’m removed from the cares
and my earthly fears
when I float in the rare
ambience of the air
while my dream is refined
on the wings of the wind.

Aah, the wind blowin’ through my hair, cooling my brow, whispers in my ear, soothes my thoughts, carries the wild bird’s song…
He has given us a wonderful blessing.

Lovely thought. We have similar mental metaphors – in my novel which will hopefully come out at long last after frustrating delays, I use ‘riding the Winds’ as a metaphor for for spiritual lines of force which can lead either to The Centre of Being, or to The Void.

If I could have my life over, Brian, I would definitely learn to fly – an aeroplane, lol! Lovely holiday with family on Christmas day! Hope yours was also good.

Noticed Denise how nicely the word “rare” sits here suggesting rarefied air? When you float above like that everything … including dreams… get refined.

Thanks for this comment, Sunamu. I did indeed mean rarefied air, i.e. less dense, indicating a greater height. 🙂

This makes me feel like I could fly. Often I am envious of the birds and their ability to soar. What must it be like? Beautiful poem!

I am so glad I gave you that feeling, Selma. I really long to be able to fly, soar, float or glide within the air ‘waves’! Who knows, one day we may be able to do just that, haha – IF we live long enough! But things are ever-changing and progressing…

I’d miss hands so much though. Yet a bird can build a nest with only a beak. Amazing!
