Anybody?

~ is anybody listening ~

 
Hello…

hello…

testing testing
hello…

testing 1 2 3…

can anybody hear me…

hello
is anybody out there…

I can’t see clearly
damn these fogged lenses!

hello
hello
testing…

do we have connection?
is anybody even listening?

hello-oh-oh-oh… Ooo… Oooo…

If Only


“The power of imagination” by: joiedevivre89

 
Oh —
if I could but glide
like a bird in flight
I would soar skyward
in sweeping circles

lifted high
on mighty thermals

not earthbound

not prisoner
to this rock and clay

not a captive
of gravity
of memory
of heartache

this day
my spirit
would be light as air

untethered

away

gone
