Mom, last night I had a dream... (copied from Avian)

And I saw a creature with colorful wings, flying around in indecisive circles, not sure of where to land. And I wanted to run after him, to follow his flight with the joy that only the innocent have and I know I will loose, to share the crystals of the sky defying the chain. But my wings are not strong yet, I can’t play.
And I fear the next time we meet it will be in the dance of predator and prey, when his flight meets its origin through my body.
But, Mom, last night I had a dream…

Beautiful image and words Fabs. I just love it! Thanks for sharing.

Oh Fabs...

I don't know if I'm more touched by the poem or the fact that it's addressed to your mom.

It really does convey the circle of life at so many levels.

Let me join the chorus.

Beautiful image and words. I agree with Julie wholeheartedly.
