Group Info

We are the writers with a free pen. With free thought in the free and clear.
With a free imagination in chaos and in peace.
Our poetry sings through our prose, and our prose is weaved into poetry.
But both flow from our hearts. Our minds. Our souls.
Welcome to Wordflight, where imaginations are limitless.

Of Lyrics
I See in Him Already the Familiar ResemblanceI see already in him the familiar resemblance:The great blue eyes of my father and his sister and mother,Each basic feature of the very face of my motherAnd her father, her brother and his son, and of my own faceMom and dad speak about the resemblanceTo my behavior at that age, except for hisFlaxen hair he looks like me, and his sweet nature. I have toTell everyone else that I am his mother’s brother. When did he begin trying to walk and talk, now?Has it really been a full Year since his birth? Where has the time with him gone?His food is now more complex with his growth.When will we see a likeness to his dad?What features of his father’s people will he get?What nature and interests will form?The familiar legacy continues in him, the infant.Our family legacy continues, I see in himMyself and my sister, papa’s great blue eyes,A face in which I see grandpa, my uncle, my mom,Together with my sister and papa, and my own face…!These roles of our family change;My sister is now a responsible mother,Mom and dad are indulgent grandparents,And I recognize the roles of our family.Familiar voices unique in their quality, my people:I can hear mom and the voice of her sisterAnd my own sister, and papa in my own voice,Evidence of links between us through time.A tie between us is constant across time:I see my mother’s mother as a maidenBeside a lad who became a father of three children afterA war, in which she grew that loving worry…A tie between us is constant across time:An image of mom’s parents in their youth at theirOwn wedding, of smooth face and dark hair,And faces in their childhood, to myself connected…!How many generations gave features of body and voiceThat we have now? Elemental shape and feature of facesAnd voice and qualities which I know so well,Wonder at this continuity of a lineage…!

Let Healing Rain Pour on Scorched LandAll is still as dry as tinder;Alas, after the wildfires in our homeThere is enough tinder that awaits ignitionAnd we are still in this hearth of uncertaintyI can breathe more easilyBut because victory upsets much of the populationAnd I am still nervous at the resentmentOf people who feel that they themselves won’t be heard.I won’t pretend that I am a perfect exampleOf virtue, I am also flawed, butI can’t take any more implacable contentionWhich he lit who was supposed to be responsible.I won’t pretend that I am a perfect exampleOf virtue, I am also flawed, butI want to resolve the problem,That we will unite against a worse crisisAll seemed to collapse and naked despairAnd anger almost crushed me.

Hey there, I'm a longtime writer who made the jump into professional editing- what would the etiquette be for offering my services to the group?
