Magic Carpet

The sound of a voice, soothing as a delicate petal
Calls gently to your mind, drawing you closer
Downy fluff softness beckons you to lie down
Upon the magic carpet of my words.

Just a thought brings life into the vessel of braided wool
Germinating the seed of movement sprouting beneath
The carpet trembles with a quickened pulse of its own
Earth bound gravity slowly releases its hold.

Serene and calm permeate the air
Anticipation of magical flight
Tingling flows through epidermal veins
Skin blushed with warm expectation.

Phrases have slid beneath you and begin to lift
Feeling of weightlessness has tipped the scales.
Effortlessly floating you away like an airborne bubble
Forward and upward, in a gentle rolling motion.

The hammock of heaven has taken you
Birds watch with envy, as you drift by as a spirit of grace
Soaring where neither cloud nor eagle can go
Beyond the rainbows of tomorrow, and the pain of yesterday.
