Remarking on A Flight of Fancy
This is so much more
than just fun,
or a flight of fancy, she said ..
Can you not
feel it in those
pretty wings of yours ..
Although I learnt
a long time ago,
it’s okay to look back ..
I dare not go
anywhere
near them, these days ..
It’s all in the way
we plummet and fall
from the sky, you see ..
Much like Icarus burned,
so maybe we all
should have just listened more ..

Thank you Neville enjoyed my late night read.
My absolute pleasure.. and thank you 😎👍
You are very welcome
You got me thinking again. We often fall back in time to burn with past thoughts. If we only had listened to past warnings we might not have burned. Very nice Neville

[If only I'd not worked third shift Wednesday night, I might have commented in timely fashion on this characteristic beauty, but by the time I caught it I'd no strength to pull off that, nor do more than observe.]
Dear flights of fancy! Oh, Icarus! Wax wings are only useful under certain circumstances, vaporizing in a heartbeat and the eye of Day. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a teasing poignancy. Thank you for sharing!
Just you mark my words, I'm gonna have a few words with your supervisor & shift manager Missy .. In the meantime .. bless you for going that extra mile .. it truly is appreciated .. Neville
“Whatever you do, don’t look down,” as the off quoted saying goes! 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
The only way is up, isn't it .. or directly at the horizon, if the sea gets particularly choppy .. Cheers .. 😎
