Soaring

Have you ever imagined the feeling Of soaring up over the clouds With only the breeze between you and the earth Away from the bustling crowds? With occasional sound of the fiery blast That helps keep your airship afloat A peaceful and heavenly solitude As you sail this celestial boat Imagine the total serenity As you take in the breathtaking view Corn fields that go on forever Mountains that reach for the blue Riding on currents and sunbeams A feeling takes hold of your soul Drifting over streams and babbling brooks At peace, you are whole

I always think of those olden time pilots in their two wingers - as close to flying like a bird as man can get. Enjoyed. Congrats on the selection. daver

Ahhh! Memories eh! There was an air force base not far from where I lived as a kid and I still remember the drone of the yellow Harvard trainers flying overhead! Glad you enjoyed it... cheers!
