Feel the freedom of feathered flight,
Acceleration leaving earth behind.
Climbing high into a sea of palest blue,
Leveling off in soaring elated solitude.
Metallic arms melt as one with the soul,
Gradual tips to the edge finding a flow.
Catch the current of a beautiful breeze,
Sail beyond human limits in sheer ease.
Zephyrs flow across curved slant of wings,
Created uplift from pressure beneath these.
Whirling windmills thrust back the wind,
In continual motion providing thrust send.
Feathered ruttier can slow in flapped drag,
Reducing speed or descending in lowering land.
Touch to terra firma wheels squeal in brakes,
Emotional relief and regrets both overtake.
Mans reach must exceed his earthly domain,
But it feels good to touch down safe again!

A Great journey unfolds upon the page, eloquently described with intertwining of nature and technology. You put forth vividly how man takes
so much aspiration from nature. Blue
