DREAM POST

“Take Me Up” by Lauren Withrow

This earth holds
nothing for me.
If each of you
take one limb,
your beating-
retreating wings
can carry me
to your home
in the sky,
and I could be
weightless
leaving no
prints.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    “Carry me to your home in the sky….” I can feel this poem, the wish for release from our earthbound pressures. Beautiful.
