Tandem . Crossed wireless phones. Feathers seagull and hawks, wolf pats on head imagine flying to find mother. She’s there.

Not far away.

I’ve hang glided over beach and surf with my daughter taking turns learning to fly. Appears you and mom must have leaped from a very high cliff to soar with birds and thermals but a cold down draft ground you to earth. Love the flight.

Close your eyes. Imagine your self flying feel the air currents lift you. As if you’re Icarus. Try it once in your life.

That's the key, it seems.

I really love the imagery, symbolism, and love in this poem, Jonathan. Isn’t it just like a loving mother to tame wolves and provide safe landings.

That's a great dream, especially because it had a conclusion that didn't include crashing. It beats mine, where I am almost always at some conference in some hotel and can't find my luggage or get into my room and I can't seem to get to the event. I'd settle for hang-gliding, my mom, hawks and wolves any day.

I've had a few like that, too, Carole. Dreams are funny.

Yes, they are. Minds unfettered! I always wake up wondering where I put that key😊.

I have no reason to believe you were not actually there, Jonathan.

This really does have the feel of a dream--that is, the reader gets to dream it along with the speaker. That's not easy to pull off.
