Trying To Ignite

To show the light in black and white,
Like a laugh to our flight before the Wrights,
As far as a kite on a windy cold night,
To climb so high and know your height.
A fear of life, the ultimate fright,
To be polite, but know when to fight,
To always excite with what you know is right,
To be a flame just trying to ignite.
