Superpower Meme

Bsd
FINALLY DID IT!!!

Everyone wants to fly. I mean, look at the memes - flight or some variation is present in almost all.

Flight is freedom, or that is what we think.
Flight is power, or so it seems.
Flight is passion, or it could be.

But G-d created us two feet on the ground, wingless and heavy boned.
So where comes this deep desire for flight?

Think of it in reality:
Flight would be cold,
Flight would be tense.
Flight would be terror.
Except -
I close my eyes and imagine myself in flight
and I am bodyless.

Is that our desire for flight?

To be body-free
Like flame soaring up to its source
Soul returning to creator
Free of this world
its woes
and responsibilities.

Do we think:
" I am flying closer to God." ?

Oh look. She finally posted this.

This was great! The composition, line up of statements, imagery, blah blah blah, I like it.

Cheerio: What's wrong? I meant that I could have sworn you read something along these lines in the infamous poetry slam, though perhaps I'm mistaken...

Cheerio said...

yup, you were mistaken.

Cheerio: Umm, not per-se. ..but I could understand it being seen in an awkward light (I'm used to doing it in blogs where the author isn't very interactive with the commenters..which isn't the case here).
