Background
In waiting for the
Beacons to be lit I find
A copper-blue piece
Of myself to nourish
In anticipation of flight.

Lovely piece! Thank you for sharing this! It is so simple but powerful!
Unwanted Life
Waiting for the beacons to be lit reminds me of wars fought in ancient Rome or Greece. It also brings up images of fantasy films where it’ll signal the important battle. However, by the time you get to flight it makes you think either a pilot getting read for something like the battle of Britain or a signal to to start an escape from danger. So much from so few words

You can pack so much in less than twenty-five words. Never, ever stop writing my friend.
PS: Do I sense a bit of mid-19th century history here? : )
Jaya Avendel
Never, ever is a promise to myself!
Love the hints of mid-19th century you picked up on! Combined with that, I was also going for a little Tolkien-inspired beaconing. 🙂

Your poem focuses on the moment before flying.
Beacons are needed just as light is needed for the soul, nourishment is needed so that life can be perpetrated. And then flying always has an immense meaning. <3
