Restful Flight

Flight
Unfolds
To reach high
Higher, higher
Freedom in the sky
Only soft clouds around
Soaring in peace with wing span
From here to there and everywhere
Gliding ever so gently to be
A soul at rest, floating eloquently

Boy, I wish I were a bird, teehee. To soar effortlessly to unimaginable destinations without getting on a plane? Unfettered freedom! Wonderful poem, Heidi!:-) Enjoyed.

A flight to heaven is a one-way flight, but one all of us hope to take when we leave this world. Nicely written.
