Surging Ahead
I pick myself up with
elevation and tempered elation.
Turn it all around
to lift spirit from the ground.
Wipe the grime soiling with
desperation within my station
to choose the path of sound
that springs up from the ground.
My engines purr with prospect
rich to burn my stitch
in time with rhyme sublime
to peg my steady climb
with hues resplendent dancing
dizzy in a fervent pitch
insistently silent like a mime
yearning to reveal my prime.
The horizon beckons playful in
curve while guiding my verve,
gently cupping the slope of my lip
should my trip tear a rip,
your ardor shall hold firm enough to
swerve until I find nerve
to crack through that ultrasonic whip
even as the hounds nip.
