James Fraser Poet Quatrain

I Knew We Would Meet One Day

We had never met before
In-trepidation absorbed my emotions
Knowing today is the day
It's hitting me in slow motion

Our meet is drawing near
As I await this moment in time
My heart now beats a little faster
Losing it's normal rhyme

Around the corner I go
As I see her standing there
Beauty just as I imagined
This time it's polite to stare

Her figure delights me so
As it would to many a man
We meet, we touch
My eyes now in loving scan

I sit down elated with joy
Knowing I'll remember this day for ever
Finally meeting the Lockheed SR-71
Not of nature, but a Blackbird so clever

William Kershaw January 9, 2011 at 9:33 PM James, I too have been an admirer of this aircraft and those who flew her. Retired now she still delights the eye and fires the imagination. No wonder Blackbird pilots wore astronauts wings. Best, Will
