IN FLIGHT (Poem 22)

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

I’ve been playing with

Guitars and keyboards


Whose soothing tunes linger

In my enthused Psyche

Their magical hymns render my weight

As light as feather.


So that I fly like unto airwaves

The numerous renditions unleash

The powerful anthems hidden

In Hyperspace.


Such anthems expand me: I Am

The Balloon whose edges have

Already

Reached

My journey’s

Sublime destinations.


Sensed, felt, touched the ground

Even before my feet have landed

On its first blessed flight.
