Go to the window
Earth’s curve waits for you
under wild skies
Run through the door
spin, sway, swing and play
Hinge
the circle
spill outside
boundaries fall before your feet
Breathe in heaven
swim with stars
Reach out
palms up in supplication
arms open
Writtien for dVerse Poets Pub, where Victoria asked us to write a Quadrille (44 words, exactly) about some aspect of the word, “open.”

Gorgeous poem. I love so much in this. I’d copy and paste the whole quadrille if I printed what I liked in this poem. Excellent advice.

Love the sway, the rhythm and liberating feeling that flows from start to finish…and oh, to “swim with stars”…*sigh*

It will help to invoke help from God the alMighty in many instances if only one is to ask for it. It will work for the believers!

The thought of “breath[ing] in heaven” and “swimm[ing] with stars” is just magnificent. I picture a body full of starlight and glee, floating from galaxy to galaxy, experiencing everything.
