Flight

Coming soon the moment
when I release unto the wind
a call that always beckons me
to launch upon my wings

A single stroke of feathery arms
against the blowing wind
carries me over seas of calm
beneath the warmth of the sun

Gliding quiet and ever gently
while tasting the salty air
I feel a warming draft beneath me
above my world of cares

I feel the freedom of this peace
and hasten to life’s long flight
as I ride upon the air policing
my world until the night
