Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 79
You would make my day if you
come join us!
“Man must rise above the Earth – to the top of the atmosphere and beyond – for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.”

I am the explorer reaching upward
but you are the one
with wings
You do not need a space ship
to reach further
beyond your means
I study for a lifetime preparing
For my scheduled flight
You merely take a moment
And then sail the bluest skies.
Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love that there is no malice or envy in the speaker's voice. She speaks fact about the subject and herself. Never suggesting that one is better than the other--even if one has it easier. A person like this one flies true.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.... I think our two writes will pair nicely. I wrote mine before reading yours. I'll be interested to see if you think the same. You definitely captured the astronauts thoughts very well!
ReplyDeleteSo true, and lovely poem, Carrie.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem, almost a song. I love the way the speaker greats the butterfly. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother affirmation of the butterfly’s strength!
ReplyDeleteLovely and so true.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed the reflection in the other pictures I saw. It looks like the butterfly is going knock knock, come out or let me in.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, gentle and caring. Bravo, Carrie!
ReplyDelete#1 Shay is off the grid for awhile as her puter is dead . #2 this is a beautiful poem Carrie. I like how the stronaut greets the butterfly. The peoem is gentle
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this expression of freedom..butterfly freedom..It certainly speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteSuch balance and beauty in the contrast that you present here Carrie. Wonderful writing! I finally got my contribution posted. Thank you again for nudging me... :-)
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy lemon squeezy, right? ;-)
