Flight Of Fancy Poem by Renu Kakkar
Flight Of Fancy
My fate for me had ensured,
Traveler's foot and an explorer's galore.
I took a fancy to explore new lands,
My spirit soared for newer plans.
Flying I was, with the ocean, spread below,
Blue skies above and the sun did glow.
The clouds outside were my partners in flight,
My co-passengers had slept to my delight.
With wings on his shoulders and a wand by his side,
a childlike figure appeared outside,
Is he real or is he a dream?
Such thoughts in me started to frame.
The childlike angel told me to step out,
I rubbed my eyes as I had a doubt.
He beckoned again for me to try,
To leave my body and attempt to fly.
I did not know how to and I think he understood,
His hand came through and my hand he took.
Gently leading me out of the window pane,
To my surprise, I stood by the plane.
On the clouds, I glided with ease
Flying with my angel in heavenly bliss.
Soon it started to become dark,
My angel told me it's time to depart.
I stood outside the window pane looking in,
All passengers were sleeping and snoring within.
The angel told me to glide back in,
Soon I was again in me looking at him.
Now I go to someone who needs me,
Never forget that this is how to be.
The past has done and gone let it rest,
Live in present to harness a future that's best.

Google used the same alliteration in this usage example. (cont.)
Thanks. This is a dream not daydream (Flight of fancy) can also mean that. People are asleep and the soul moves out of the body.

Thank you. A typing error there and I will correct. The poem is about a soul moving out of the body guided by an angel. Who that angel is. I have not specified. As regards showcasing this poem, please showcase poems by famous poets of India. I write to please myself.
Thanks, a typing error there, will correct it. As regards 'in me and looking at him' means the soul getting back into the body. Why should the angel say anything to his friends? I have not mentioned anything about it. As regards showcasing my poem, please show case poems of famous poets. I just write to please myself and poem hunter is a place where I keep my poems to retrieve them as and when I need them.
