Beautiful Sight

Sometimes I think i should try, Should spread my wings and fly Soar through a cloud as a spirit so free With land below, all the sights I see Diving towards the earth below Spread my wings out catching air causing me to slow Leveling out and quickly shooting away barely above ground Wind whistling as I flew a soul unbound Over a lake I trail fingers through crystal clear waters so cold Feeling freedom in untold A slight shift of wings back up so high I flew Wings soaring damp with the morning Dew Catching up with an eagle, together we rode the updrafts so high My whole being was one with the sky Back through another cloud we flew just for luck So high we went coming to float just briefly then the wings we tuck Falling back to earth trusting to luck Closed my eyes free falling from the heavens I plunged gathering speed Faster and faster I felt the need Reaching for the feeling of fearlessly falling so free Then catching an updraft I carelessly began barrel rolling across the sunlit sky So full of the joy I did cry Freedoms ultimate glory floating across skies so blue That eagle and I racing going going cloud to cloud as if it were a thrilling game of hide and go seek The eagle took a peek Screeched his good bye he went on his way Catching a jet wave I had spread out my wings just resting in flight Saw cities so far below glistening from the morning light Time catches up I feel so Free No beautiful a sight did I ever see Watching the set of the days sun Just telling of the day now done Announcing the arrival of night With the coming of evening came the end of my glorious flight Flying back across the evening sky Back across the the distance that I like to fly across area I liked to play and roam Across the empty sky to home Back to my chair where always did sit alone To quietly ponder all I was shown
