Flying to the Milky Way

You draw me into
your ball of light
through diamond
clusters

Your outstretched
arms entice me
from my earth-bound
state

Helpless I fall
upwards, spiralling
under Your hanging
wings

Marvelling, You
watch my spinning flight
and wonder how a mere mortal
can fly

Oh this is a lovely poem, I really enjoyed it. It really comes across as if you have a real sense of wonder! Not suprising by that lovely photo you used to inspire you.


Well done,
