Think Tank Thursday

Today at Poets United,  prompt #24  is Wings~  I won this wing from Colette, a few months ago!

I think of words as wings, they lift us up, give us hope, inspire us, can change our world, and allow our dreams to  take flight~

“From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings. ~Helen Hayes; actress

Hands wrapped around spine,

Hinged head and tail, 

Signatures stitched with ideas

waiting for take off,

Leaf turns to page,

Stitched dreams invade you,

Escape in the journey,

Travel forward or back,

Words paint a new world

Inspiration like clouds lifts you

Reality grounds you,

Wear someone Else's shoes

Wings level off,

My mind leaps,

Feelings arrive

at the corners,

Edges of fringe,
Stimulate

gather momentum, 

Altitude is reached,

Shadow of descent appears,

Bones formed on pages

Sinew wrapped in tiny fragments

around the soul,

Gray matter is stretched,

Birth appears,
The journey lingers

Travel again soon, 

Among the pages of promise.

I didn't forget about the Hoarding Award post; Life seemed to get in my way; I will post this on Friday~
