WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY


So many times
thoughts have passed
through my head,
daydreams and musings
about things that I've read
or heard or simply
wondered about.
And I've taken a brief look
and to myself have said,
"Never, no never,
would I ever do that.
Not a chance in the world;
at no time and no way
would I do such a thing.
No, I'd never do that."

For I'd love to be able
to spread my wings and fly;
to soar with the seagulls





to waltz among the flowers
with the butterflies of spring.
I'd love to be able
to fly like a kite,
holding on tight
and so colorful and bright.



And what fun to be able
to sit on the edge
of a puffy cloud as it floats
across a pale blue summer sky.
And I'd love to paint patterns
across that summer sky,
flying in that little plane
up so very high.




And suddenly it occurs to me
that while I've always said
that you'd never ever find me
behind the controls
of a single-engine plane
or in the basket
of a hot-air balloon,
or dangling from a parachute,
my feet way up off the ground,




it's certainly
not out of the question
and could be
a very grand adventure
for me.

In fact,
It might only take
one crazy
roll of the dice
a whim,
a dare,
a couple of
haunting numbers,
the pair of dice
showing two and six



(a rather interesting mix),
what used to be
absolutely never,
well, maybe in the future
and not beyond
the realm of possibility.
