Flying

My feet hit the ground But I feel like I’m flying The wind blows through my hair The clouds caress my skin I close my eyes tight To enhance this sensation Really feel what it’s like To be above the world Like a star gleaming in the sky Like a rainbow dancing over the land I can look down at the world Seeing everything so small The world is less complex With no cares to bother me No problems I cannot handle Up here amongst the clouds Life seems much easier There’s no enemies to face No work to get in my way I can go wherever I please See things I thought I’d never see Fly to the tops of mountains Float gently over the seven seas Take in all of this world’s wonder The planet is beautiful from up here Seeing what no one has ever seen A beauty that is rare to find I could live in the sky forever See the world from this point of view Until eternity runs dry But my feet are glued to the ground My body isn’t a weightless form I cannot soar in the clouds I cannot see rare beauties That I’ve only dreamt about I open my eyes The world is still beautiful A little more complex and loud The beauty still remains With my feet firmly on the ground I’ll walk to the places I long to see.

Nice way to describe vicarious journeys. One's imagination can take you to anywhere in the universe.

Wow Tahnee! Excellently penned! I love how you bring the reader to the vision of flying and what the world would be like from that point of view and then how you bring us back to the ground but still keep the hope alive. Very well penned!
