The Secrets of Flight

So much of the sky is held
within a breath, one breath.

Clouds forming quick as inhaling
then drift-dancing on the exhaling.

Drifting alongside birds that flock and flutter,
dancing above seas that gaze up to questions
below an everlasting space suggesting answers.

There is so much sky held
within one breath, a breath.

Handing down the rules of gravity,
dangling the secrets of flight.
