The Art of Flying

Bring another's words to life, take flight!

Cocooned
In a chrysalis of images
Wrought from another's words
Yet rendered entirely personal

Changing
In a private metamorphosis
Bone linking unto bone to form a new creature
Designed by the author
Lived by the reader

Taking flight
Into the freedom of the mind
Held in the tension between other and self
Mapping out a dreamland

Following the roadmap into adventure
