Away to the Sky by beloavaan at deviantART
Carry me far
let me sleep above ancient cities
away from bustle and noise
and incessant living.
From halogen lighting
that startles eyes I long to close
tight shut
To be allowed to dream among clouds
and silent softness.
Please carry me far
so I may escape
for just a while.

Beautiful!
I particularly loved
"Carry me far
let me sleep above ancient cities
away from bustle and noise
and incessant living."

To be allowed to dream among clouds
and silent softness.
Wonderful, I loved it.
What a delicious thought. The lines Susannah chose are the ones that enchanted me too.
What wonderful words you weave to go with that image!
Beautifully written! Love how you sum up the issues of living in a big city.
awesome sentiments, so wish I was that girl this moment, loved this photo prompt,will have to try it out
cablygeiThis picture is really so beautiful and your words do it full justice. I guess we'd all like to be ballooned away from the bustle and noise some days.
Thank you for sharing your poem on Real Toads.
I'm enchanted! I want to go! Love this.

Beautiful union between image and words. And yes, I would love to join her.
Oh, how well I understand "incessant living"! Non-stop hustle and bustle wears me out.
Very, very well done.

I like it!
I think we all wish we could be carried away now and then. If even for a short while.
Lovely!

I can really relate to this - the sense of longing, the desire for freedom and maybe a bit of peace are beautifully expressed. Carry me far..... gorgeous!
Oddly, I found this to be very tender. I really liked it a lot.
Yes, I know what you mean. I also need someone to carry me far sometimes. Beautifully written. <3

I hear you - I feel the same at times, the "bustle and noise / and incessant living" do get to one. Lovely combination, the words and photo.
beautiful dreamy visions. enchanting. does justice to the prompt
A brief escape is all we need to clear the head, and that beautiful prompt brought that out perfectly.
Beautiful poem!
Once Upon a midnight dreary
as I pondered, weak and weary.
I closed my eyes
and drifted to sleep.
Soon I came to realize
I was floating up in the skies.
No worries, no panic, no slips.
For I had balloons around my hips.
The End
What a beautiful vision...sleeping above ancient cities...beautiful...

I suspect that every one of us has wished we might "escape for just a while" at times during our "incessant living." You've captured our longing in your lovely poem.

Ah, me! I guess that's for most of us. Beautifully executed.
