Lift Off

when moody waters wrestle
with darkest swirling thoughts
and whirlpools deep inside your mind
are dreams you never caught
take heed and lift your head up
to gaze where stars are found
and stay there till it’s safe again
to land on kinder ground

Chris this is a wonderful inspiring poem. It offers hope. A message so profound and universal as we all need this at times ‘take heed and lift your head up to gaze where stars are found’ beautifully said. A great title too. Lift Off indeed. This is a gorgeous poem. Going into my favorites. Utterly beautiful.

dear Chris... to rise above the ripples and study the
Sea of Sky where butterflies sleep on Stars... and "lift off"
mysteriously to Heaven knows where. gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Pat, the heavens are a fine place for dreamers. Hope you and yours are enjoying sunshine. All the best.

Yes indeed. Otherwise you'll be left wondering why you're stuck in the mud spluttering and choking on it, when all you had to do was turn your head to the stars to escape.
I'd be doing it right now, but our launch was topped with five seconds to go when thick cloud made us forget where to point to. 😊
Still a lovely day though. Un-sun and spring like

[Chris Shaw]

You know Lorry, thick cloud can be such a pain when you want to star gaze. Hope your day today is cloud free and you have a weekend of sunshine.

Firstly, this was such a delightfully rhyming poem to read! I loved it. Then there was the wonderful imagery of the moody waters, the dark, swirling thoughts and the whirlpools deep! They make such a stunning impact on this reader. The message too was equally beautiful. To look upwards and away from what threatens to pull us down or drown us. To make a conscious effort to rise above our negative, down in the doldrums thoughts and to touch the stars. A brief poem with a lasting message!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you DIVYA, your reviews are always so thoughtful. You find so much in the lines. Have a wonderful Thursday my friend. Old scribble, recently found buried:)
