Australian Poetry: A House - Private property sailing the skies?

What property?

To dream

The impossible

House

To fight

The unbeatable

Banks

To bear

Vacant

Distant

Tomorrows

To plant

Where the sane

Do not sow

~

To face

The unfaceable

Land

Set high

On mountains afar

To love

Bushland mists

By the sea

To touch

Untouchable stars

~

This is a quest

To follow that life

No matter how fruitless

No matter the strife

To fight

For the light

Without question

Or laws

To be willing

To dive

Into hell

For a visionary cause

~

And I know

If I only imbue

This heavenly quest

With dreams

I'll sail

Joyful and free

Till I lay in my nest

~

And the world

May be better for this

That one life

Torn

And riddled with scars

Still walked

Weighted

Heavy

With anguish

To touch

Untouchable

Stars

Yes! I was hoping the music could be heard in my poetry! Glad you liked this! Just trying to be a bit different as per usual! Or maybe I'm not really trying at all! It just seems to happen naturally these days! This morning, all I have done is write poetry for my blog! Sad but fun!

I have noticed that as I have been to grayscale and yes, missy, you have been flowing and flowing and flowing... as you mentioned, it comes so naturally!

Keep it Up as you do it so well!

Have a Dynamic Day as usual!
