The Flight into Utopia

The turbulent
Flight into utopia as the
Heavens open
And powerful forces
Swirl in the mist

She turns
Her moment of sadness
Into great joy
Under the watchful eyes of
The glowing crescent moon

Spring
Time in the city of
Dreams
The soulful rhythm
Of love and lust divine

Pushing
The boundaries of reason
The Nubian starts
His long march of life under
The gentle light of dawn

At the edge
Of utopia, he makes his
Next move
Still holding onto the memory
Of his first love

Angel
On my lips in
Pleasantville
A calm delight in this
City of the longest kiss

Being content in the present and satisfied with what we have is such a blessing. It eliminates the stress of striving to accumulate more and it helps us to truly enjoy what is in the now. Turning a moment of sadness into joy is a sign of a mature person, someone with wisdom to share.

Hi Technobabe

I, absolutely, agree with you that "turning a moment of sadness into joy is a sign of a mature person".

In fact, in this particualr case, she is the rock on which the new and emerging community can be built - a sensitive and creative soul, a woman of substance.

Thank you for your reflection!
