Either

Short-lived days of flight,
the god-feeling of
powerful perfection, 
rich obsessions,
high on the angle of light.

Then, plans for not being 
here-there or any more	, 
aching bathed in
unaware tears,   	   
praying the darkness away
to sweet memories 
of flight without pain.

Powerful. Amazing how pain whether physical, mental or other changes our entire state of mind and feeling good likewise...
