Today’s #maydays prompt may your character take a flight, a fall or a leap (real or metaphorical).
It wasn’t a matter of taking to the skies
But one of confidence and belief
Of knowing you could fly
Achieve the height
Most only dreamed of.
But it was never easy
Obstacles and roadblocks
Littered your path
As though one success
Led to another.
I marvelled in your perseverance
You never gave up
You believed in me
You trusted in us
You let me hold your hand
As you soared high
Above the scaremonger’s clouds.

With perseverance we can fly or at least keep from being dragged along the ground. 💙
Sensitive ode to the strength of companionship, friendship, love, and trust. Most people never experience how free and joyful it must feel to fly with just the touch of a hand.
Thank you it is indeed a joyous thing he said spreading his wings and flapping them about…
I don’t know how you do it, Michael–take a simple prompt and turn it into a beautiful poem, like this one. I love it. 🙂
I’m sorry I haven’t stopped by lately…have been so busy getting my manuscript ready for my editor, among other things.
Have a wonderful week, my friend. 🙂
Thanks Cathy, good luck with manuscripts and editors, fingers crossed all goes well for you.
