River rushing below bluffs

River rushing below bluffs

River rushing below bluffs
written July 7th, 2021

I dream of the bluffs
we visited that day
river rushing below
demarcating freedom

these years of practicing
flying away across fields
in preparation for this night
have made my wings strong

can I reach the bluffs?
float out over the river below?
escape these fields and rows
encompassing my life

I fly towards my future
until wings collapse trembling
on the edge of becoming
or breaking into pieces
I fall to the ground

Not to the bluffs
and river rushing below
not this time
but one night soon
with these wings made strong.

 Growing up amidst the cornfields of rural Illinois, and the bluffs along the Mississippi River. That line about "wings made strong" was in another poem, but the poem didn't achieve what I wanted. Maybe this one comes closer.

 I used to live right up the river from you in rural Wisconsin about 30 miles from the Cities. Beautiful country.

It is. I remember visiting though it was decades ago. Galena and areas south of there. I'm glad the poem brought back good memories.

 Have no fear
I'm am here
Land in my arms
You will not be harmed
Hold onto me
Till you wings set you free
Come back to me
Out by the sea
Fly away
Come back so day
The water still flows
And our love grows
One never know
What can be found
When you land on my ground
Xoxoxoxo thank you for my Birthday Poam
