a reflective retourne
I Long to Float
by adewpearl
I long to float through cloudless skies to places free of flood or haze, my silk balloon conveying me through star-strewn nights and sun-struck days to places free of flood or haze where only gentle rains are known and winds blow but a balmy breeze that catches kites when gaily flown. My silk balloon conveying me past troubled shores to paradise, for this I'd pay a princely fare and even offer twice the price. Through star-strewn nights and sun-struck days I'd sail these currents with delight if only I could book my way upon the next enchanted flight. |
