FLYING AGAINST THE WIND

FLYING AGAINST THE WIND

I dream to roam through  lands

I've never been before

Alone and on my own

To wander fields and mountain sides

Rivers flowing into Ocean's womb

And know the mystery of Nature's way

A shared humanity to discover

To know I am like every other.

I want to see my immortality

A singular point of infinity

Unique and the same

As others on this journey.

But these are dreams  the soul makes

That takes us beyond reality.

Just a moment's bliss and harmony.

But you see

We fly against the wind

We who dream fantasy

Feeling the Angel close behind

Soon to knock at  our door

To end our dreams for ever more.

Rays of magic from Longobardolino

There are more than I who admire you, you see my dear friend, you are not alone in spirit, you have us around you always. We are all moved by your poetry and yourself, you have something secret and wonderful hidden in your heart and we have glimpsed only the reflection of it in your art and are pofoundly touched by the intensity of its rays of erternal magic.
