Breathless
Tense but expectant
that moment before
lift-off,
the thrill before the thrill
(pause
clench
gather –
almost burst)
just before you detach,
weightless, unbound,
expanded,
and soar.
and soar.
Written for April 2020 Day 29 at 'imaginary garden with real toads': This Is (Almost) The End, where we are invited to write of the moment before an ending; and for #aprilwitchcraft Day 29 on Instagram: Flight (to accompany the photo).
(Perhaps this reads more like the moment before a beginning? Depends. The witch's broom might be a clue.)
Ah, I suddenly realized what this flight was about when I saw your broom.
ReplyDeleteGlad someone did! I suppose you'd have to be in the know, and not so many people would be.
DeleteYou’ve captured the moment, Rosemary, between the opening ‘tense’ and the closing ‘soar’.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIts the feral circle, is it not? I read this like a great breath before the next thrilling leap. A very important moment - Brendan
ReplyDeleteNot exactly ... but it could be....
DeleteIt certainly would leave one breathless, Rosemary!💘 Love this!
ReplyDeleteTo let go and fly, what a wonderful experience❣️❣️🌹🙏
ReplyDeleteDelightful Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to soar... I have plenty of people who say I ride a broom, but I've never mastered it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat, Rosemary. I was on the rocket, Rosemary, until.i too found the broom. Witches don't need rockets, their flying uses levitation physics which I don't understand.
ReplyDelete..
There are many ways to fly.
