we are in time a mote of dust
a pin prick in an ocean sky
while some may catch the comet’s flare
each one of us is doomed to die
what causes some to burn so bright
when most live out their lives in night
i’d like to dance above the clouds
do cartwheels over mountains high
chase rainbows to the valley’s end
and grow two wings so i might fly
these things i may not do on earth
but will in spirit with rebirth

Wow I can only say Magnificent, you just took me on the ride of my life. Wow. Your imagery is outstanding dearest Cassie, and yes so is your theme, I definitely believe in reincarnation I too would like to be an Angel. Breathtaking truly beautiful 🌹
Thank you Teddy for such wonderful encouragement. An older poem I found which needed an airing. So pleased you enjoyed it. All good wishes coming your way 🌹
A fine write Cassie.
I will have to wait, to grow my wings, though I try now to be 'The Birdman'. Do ya hear me fall off the cliff? - 'arrghhhhhh! Mrs Botox causes me to do mad things. lol.
There you go blaming it on Mrs Botox:) She gets such bad press from you. I bet she!s a peach. Thank you Orchi. Be nice to your wife 😀
Now then, don't that feels so much better .. I could feel it coming .. thank you Cassie
Thanks Neville. Haven’t had much time to spare lately. I’ll try to be more disciplined 🙂 Enjoy the weekend. I think we are going to the marina. Have fun, whatever you do and wherever you go.
..................... and back at you C .. N 😎👍
An absolute delight to read. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Tom.
Thank you so much Tom. Pleased you enjoyed my lines. All the best.
A wonderful write with great rhyme. Loved the playfulness in this piece as it traverses the heavens in a comet over oceans, mountains, clouds and sky. Lovely!
Pleased you enjoyed this one. Many thanks, I appreciate your thoughts very much. All the best.
Actually, you just did those things. Nice write!
Thank you. Yes, in my imagination I did. Pleased you stopped by John. All the best.
Swung through that in no time, Cassie; the smoothness of the ride was something special.
And IF your second stanza should come to pass, I'd love to dance with you.
Thank you Dave. I’ll mark you down for the first dance in the next life. Pleased you stopped by. Happy Friday.
I don't know who to attribute to, I kind of borrowed it "The price of living is death" sums thing up. Nice work.
That’s what’s going to happen to us all. Thanks for stopping by Dan. All the best.
Dance and pin prick, wings and spirit. Nice work.
Thank you so much Dan.
We will all join you above the clouds Cassie.
Andy
I hope so Andy, but not for quite a while. I have some more living to do. Thanks for checking in. All the best.
This is a wonderful poem. I love it.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Happy Sunday.
Excellent poem Cassie.
Your words are so realistic. Most people fear death and fail to see that it is a part of the cycle of life.
Bravo
Thank you so much Saleh. I appreciate your kind words. Pleased you stopped by.
Powerful imagery. Beautiful work.
Thank you Thomas. You are appreciated.
on the wings of your imagination, fly higher and reach for the moon -
if there is some tiny space left in the void, would like to follow you - what a beautiful ride.
Dear Safina, apologies for my late response to your beautiful review. I thank you 🌹
