I'm high
Higher than a kite
Trying
Wobbling
Balancing
But
Knowing
That with patience
And
Determination
As I reach for
And
Touch
Touch
The stars
The impossible
Is mine

ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing, Bee, is that I have commented before on this poem. I am sure of it. But now I see that there is not comment here.
ReplyDeleteI will try this again.
I do really like your take on this Magpie.
Now this time it posted
ReplyDeleteThank you to all for coming and reading. I don't know why but ever since I saw this picture I've been humming "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" which of course has nothing to do with the Mag but is everything French!
ReplyDeleteStars ~~~ the perfect conduit to wonderful dreams!!
ReplyDelete'The impossible
ReplyDeleteIs mine'
We all should try to live our lives with such optimism:-)
Helen and jabbalog - reminds ne of The Man of La Mancha!
ReplyDeleteThere are times when I wake up in the morning and feel this sense of exhileration as completely as it is shown here. The knack is to hold on to that feeling.
