Aerial Bliss
The battle to the skies
As two invisible entities
Clash
One dashes
Shoves all in its way
Yet smooth
And angelic
In its deameanor
The other
Mellow and
Gentle
In its attack
Keeping all at bay
One howls and
Knocks at my window
Seeping in through
The crevasses
Making its presence felt
One opresses all
And weighs us down
Without a change in direction
And with no sound
Every morning I yell to tell them,
Help me fly!
Let me breathe the mist of clouds
Let feel the sunny rays and
The power to make the rain fall down
Let me travel south with the birds
Let me swirl the snow
Until is spells out word
(I wouldn't swear I promise)
Let me show my loves the tallest mountains
Let waterfalls become my fountains
Let me glide with eagles and compare our wingspans
Let me look down on the seouqouias
Let me direct plane travel
(I'd be the best air force employer)
Let me patch the ozone and
Protect our green land
Please Let me have this freedom until my lifes end!
