A Creative Ascent     
                          
As the sun rises within,
I can feel my soul come alive.
The walls in my head attempt to separate.
The words fight each other to get out,
With my eyes closed my thoughts began to elevate me. 	
I can feel my body getting lighter and lighter.
As the words began swirling around in my head,	
My imagination takes flight. 
Through my mind’s eye I can feel me ascending. 
 I can see the pink cherry blossoms,
 As they hang over the babbling brook,
That runs into a beauty waterfall.
I’m ascending higher and higher,
The words in my head began to bubble.                                  
They start churning as my body ascends higher.
As I sore everything becomes clearer and clearer,
I can see the beautiful meadows all lush with wild flowers.
My creative juices continue to move and swirl.
As I continue to soar in my mind’s eye,
My journey gets better and better.
I can see the water ways of Venice,
The gondolas and water taxies.                                             
As I ascend higher and higher,
I can see picturesque landscapes. 
Iceland is so relaxing.							
But as I ascend to the highest height,
The Arora- the Northern Lights appear,
Beautiful exquisite colors, the aqua the lavenders,
The heavens dance with what looks like a star shower.
My mind is so relaxed.
As my journey ends my creative juice have overflowed,
With words landing on my page.

The Flight of the Harpy

Anjetta (Anjie) Williams-Brown
He stands majestically — 
He is massive                                                                                             
He is powerful
He loves to sore high in the sky

South American rainforest is one of his hangouts
He can see all from his perch
He spreads his 6 feet wings					
Fixes his gaze 
He sees his food							
In the sky
On the ground

He takes off like a jet
Gliding higher and higher				
He can ascend almost to the heavens
He is a bird of prey

Ascending to heights higher than imagined
Soring 600 feet in the air 
Gliding relaxed and reserved
He is one with the wind                                                                                       
Ascending higher 
Scouting for prey
Talons poised                                                                        
Wings still
No bird is safe

God’s creation is awesome
He made the Harpy massive
Yet agile
Watching their ascent into the sky
My imagination ascends with him

Up, Up and Away
		
Up, Up and away
In my beautiful balloon souring high in the sky                                                       
Higher and Higher	
I feel free
Gliding smoothly over the ocean
The sun plays with the yellow color of the balloon
The  tulips relax snuggly 
High above the mountains
The beautiful white snow caps
As the fog rises from the water
It gives off a beautiful bluish hue
The blue sky caresses the landscape 
Bringing everything together as one
The heat propels us higher 
As the wind carries 
I feel like a bird soaring
Ascending freely 
Mentally free…..
Mentally free
