What a marvelous poem, examining the words that limit time and space, and even questioning the wings. This poem comes from experience and it touches me deeply, touches both the pain and the merriment of soaring thoughts.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-59741098241147432892013-07-09T01:07:46.680-04:002013-07-09T01:07:46.680-04:00Sigh.
