Celestial Jest

`

Feathered flight lifts my gaze
and dreams aloft once more
Petals caress time-worn cheeks
reminder of benign carousal
My chest thumps and pounds
this ardent inmost wish abounds

While on a lily pond a drop
of heaven queries my heart
It offers a choice of toads
will one be picked over the other
shall my mouth be pressed
to amphibian lips, I wonder -

a celestial jest beyond compare.

I thought that once it was finished and gone through several readings. For now I will leave it as is and then work my way back to its ground zero at an opportune time. It does have a premature feel about it... or something just dawning. It could be the beginning of a poetic tale complete with coloured pictures.
