Soar
I dreamt of the voice shuttered
tight against the storm. Words
held behind the clouded window, urgent
We are here!
Blue feathers lined in black resting
in sunlit trees. Impossibly large
No, they cannot be mine
I doubted the possible
stroking the membrane of the quill
so many gathered stories filling
the space beneath, calling
through the echo of time
wondering why the throat
is like a storm cloud waiting to break
the sun. Wondering why
space needs to be confined while the bird
of truth lies in wait
for permission to soar
Once again, I had a feeling that Sue’s photo would echo my dreams. For Sue’s #writephoto writing prompt,#Soar.
Very pretty

Perhaps not quite enough, I am finding there are still layers of doubt and more courage to be embraced. My yoga journey is uncovering more layers. π

Why does space need to be defined? Excellent imagery and good question. (K)

I’m not sure, except to say that the human brain likes definition. I’m glad you enjoyed the poem.
