A rudimentary craft
this dragon made of dreams
powered by liquid hope
and clever fools.
Kissing the clouds in a teenage fumble,
sporadic tufts of air sticking to its wings….
There is a trembling sort of certainty
here
a nebulous offering
to the gods of the sky
to the eagle me
that soars below, riding the slipstreams….
and
a bright heart
lit by a flashing emerald wish
to touch down again soon!
Splendid imagery in this. 🙂

This is so very scrumptious. The tufts of air sticking to wings and the clever fools. Every last word of it. And the painting. This is officially your “swirl period”…hehe. Someday, I will hang some of your swirls on my wall.

“Kissing the clouds in a teenage fumble”
Oh such evocative use of imagines and ideas to create a poem that resonants within my own memories and dreams of hope. I would soar but do I trust the winds?

The same for us all to different degree’s… the great wish to soar in freedom and faith but the niggling fear that keeps us on the ground…..
