If only those with feathers fly,
Then why do airplanes cross the sky?
And why are kites allowed to soar?
There must be something… so much… more!
If only those with wings take flight,
Then why do stars shoot through the night?
And why are minds allowed to probe?
There must be more… we can behold!
If only those with feathers lift,
Then why the heart with tender wish?
And why the prayer without a word?
There’s always More… The soul is heard!

Come Fly with Me-dVerse Poetics.
Mystical Strings 
This is outstanding I think, the rhyme and meter, the use of questions, but maybe mostly the perfect use of the ellipses in the last lines of the stanzas
Why, indeed! This is beautiful.
The souls flies around the world on wings of poetry and friendship to alight with care upon many a page of wondrous verse.
Oh, I’m so glad you shared this here. This reads like a prayer, the desire we all have to transcend the limitations of who/what we are now.
Oh, YES. This is perfection. Your use of rhyme is wonderful, and the progression of thought is spot on. LOVE it.
Yes, our thoughts can take flight…and there is always more than the obvious!
Just exquisite! The whole thing.
One of the best I’ve read today. Thanks!
Wonderful rhymes and mmeter. Love the format with questions.
Incredible rhythm….this reads so smoothly aloud. The rhyme is not contrived, just meant to be…every single word! Love it.
