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.

don't ever dwell in the darkness, and never think your dreams are worthless; sometimes looking at the Cosmsos and sparkling stars can give you a lift out the the murky clouds...it's a proven escape!!! it gives one hope....
Best, B

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
