Pigs Can Fly

Pigs Can Fly
Ad Astra
Out of the box beyond the
Rubicon pigs can fly
“ thus one journeys to the stars” Virgil
***
Soar like the bats out of the cave
Darkness can lead you to light
Into the world under the sun
Where things lay bare and clear
Where curiosity coalesces with reality
Into the open fields meadows valleys and prairies the shores
Where the air is fresh and rejuvenating
Makes you pause think and
think big and follow your vision
Like the kitten’s curiosity reaching for the higher shelves
Soar farther out higher like the eagles to the stars
Indeed in the world of unknowns beyond the space known pigs can fly

4aAnything is possible when pigs can fly LOL. And I am hopeful pigs will fly in the US Congress then perhaps we can get things done for a change. Great concept, nice poem! I like
Nelson D Reyes
4aWe can hope. But the “pork” barrel is too attractive they rather stay around the grounds of the Congress. Thank you for the like. Brod.

4aWhen the pigs fly, game over. :) Nice metaphor.
Nelson D Reyes
4aThank you Sim for liking. Aren’t they beautiful up there in the sky than seeing fiery red -orange ash and soot? :—) Yes game over.

4aGreat poem. I'm inspired to write something from yours. Great premise. Of course pigs can fly. I saw one flying yesterday.
Nelson D Reyes
4aI am sure I saw the same one flew over the red-orange sky of California unscathed. Thank you for liking Robert. Honored that it inspired you as well.
Robert L. Martin
4aHi Nelson. Check out my poem, "Earthbound Pigs" in response to this one.
Nelson D Reyes
4a@Robert: Saw your poem “Earthbound Pigs”. Love it! I knew you’d love this one, Pigs Can Fly, it’s right down your alley. It’s a great rejoinder “Earthbound Pigs”. Perfect. I responded as well to yours. Thank you. And a flying kiss to all the pigs up there waltzing and rock and rolling! If only we can fly and join them.
