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.

To me, this poem reflects the importance of giving space to yourself and your thoughts, to enable yourself to come at peace with them. Only then, is one able, to truly understand one's inner turmoils and find a way to some resolution. Loved it, every bit!

made me think of the Moody Blues and their song "It's Up to You"!

Yes, there are we can't catch...but others are there if we lift our heads and keep our spirits

at lift off.

Thanks J. You are a man with a song for many occasions. You do live your music don’t you? I like the Moody Blue too,

Aha! An escape artist! In an ugly, dark, and evil world, every glimpse of something outside the chaos is an ecstasy where stars are found... I'm just afraid there is no kinder ground than the one we are standing on.

Thank you Vol. Looks as though I may be star gazing for sometime. I appreciate you stopping by. Have a great day.
