Joy rises from the earth today
as the thermals
beneath my wings
fill them to billowing
lifting me aloft
in free floating flight
my spirit’s pure delight
left to my heart’s abandon
my destination random
hear the earth whisper
the breezes sigh
here’s how it feels to fly
the soft sounds waft
lilting skyward
lifting
drifting
as far
and long
as the breeze permits
my searching soul submits
feeling the winds
take me
soaring so very high
into a brilliant sky
leaving the clouds
far below
like rolling pillow‘d snow
until all I hear
murmuring in my ear
is the voice
of that breeze
watching the world
bend away
over infinite horizons
seeing all of life
from a new perspective
seeking truth
a prime objective
photo by: Eugene Soloviev
now is when
I begin
the revealing journey
out and in
swept up
and away
in ever-climbing
ascent today
silently upward
as joy rises
