Oh to Fly
oh to glide
in buoyed flight
rocket skyward
loop great circles
lift high on mighty thermals
never be earthbound again
not tethered to stone and clay
no slave of gravity today
oh this day to be soaring
swooping diving
banking flying
to be drifting
on the jet streams
all alone
to feel the joy
of total freedom
aloft without trying
to live as one
possessed of feather
and hollow bone
