Poem

Ah, drifting leisurely inside the cloud, 
Watching hot sun’s rays glance across the nose 
of the winged drone, stealthily slipping proud, 
I drifted so peacefully through the floes. 

Updrafts from silent streams beneath arose 
lifting craft’s nose, unexpectedly plowed 
through looming cumulus's potential foes, 
Ah, drifting leisurely inside the cloud. 

My teeth clinching, I bared tense lips so proud; 
Sensed gusts of air across the broadened floes, 
Kissed cerulean sky above allowed 
Watching hot sun’s rays glance across the nose. 
 
Fecklessly, thoughts wondered how high she goes 
before narrow cockpit collapsed to shroud, 
and leaps of joy turned into flailing woes 
of the winged drone, stealthily slipping proud. 

For a moment, my breathing burst aloud, 
A sudden chill, fear inside my chest froze 
leaps of joy turned to sad, flailing allowed, 
I drifted so peacefully through the floes.

I shall land on the grassy field unbowed 
Receive the welcomed accolades from those 
who soloed the winds, powerless, uncowed 
by dangers the upper sky chose to pose, 
drifting leisurely inside the cloud.
