Winds of reverie

Philippa Drake

A lord soars

into the azure expanse

forsaking blood bonds

chasing the winds of liberty

to repose in distant islands

where no man yet resides.

Friends of wondrous creatures

he dreams in coves

and tunneled caves

at one with moonlight

and dimensions of mystery.

There he waits

for time to spiral

faster and faster

into a relentless vortex

that transports him

to a sparkling age

where he meets

another life

another love.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
