To Rise Again

I sat in a helicopter
I felt quite tall
But never once do people at this height imagine
Someday they will fall
I fell from great heights
My hands never open
In the water
Right down in the full sea
I would float
Then up to the air once again!
I only fell so I could learn
To get back UP
Now I fly
Among the colorful birds

I took a ride once in a helicopter and have been on big and small planes. I do not like the ups and downs and would rather not think of the downward drop. love phyl

Enjoyed reading your poem Arastu, I've never been in a helicopter or a plane, I'm now in my seventies, and like keeping my feet on the ground.
