Chrissy thank you for sharing your outer body experiences with us the readers who reviews of your work. Thank you for letting us tag along with you and see all the various things that you saw and then safely landing back again and then waiting for the next trip. I'm sure that your first few trips were scary. But after awhile after making so many you became a professional pilot. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Very good rhythm and rhyme and interesting content.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
Chrissy, I enjoyed reading this interesting Astral Travel poem. I am sure this is possible, there are books written on the subject. Therefore, you are not alone and others have and possibly do practice such experiences.
Just a comment on the following, if I may. Looking at your abcb rhyme scheme and 8686 syllable count, I thought I would make a suggestion here and there - as shown in ( ) as it seemed to have gone off course slightly in a couple of areas.
Some nights I leave my (own) body
and let my spirit fly,
way out above the universe
look down as I go by.
I soar through many cities
with arms outstretched I glide,
my body feels so weightless
all worries left (aside.)
The stars I touch,(insert space) the moon caress
then back to earth (return),
fly back into my body shell
this flight,(insert space) I must adjourn.
Just food for thought. Thank you for sharing. ~DD

Chrissy, I know what you mean. Sometimes we read our own work over and over that we miss the obvious mistakes. It was my pleasure to help. ~DD

Comment from Pamusart
Hi, Christine. This is my favorite of your poems that I have seen this month. I do believe in astral travel and like you have experienced it. I never left earth. But I did visit a sister I had not seen for awhile. She was asleep. The next day she called and said she was just thinking about me for some reason so she decided to call. I, like you wrote a poem about it. Yours is more upbeat. Thank you for sharing
