[hometext] => I really needed this holiday !!
[bodytext] => Rumble of engine, roar of thrust Turning, we take our line to the sky Faint lights our pathway lead On the horizon another bird climbs. Lilting soft tones of music inside scarcely dim the noise outside Pause for a moment, expectantly Soon my bird will rise. Soon I will soar into empty air Into position now, no turning back Speed building, thundering down the long line of black Suddenly lifted, the world drops beneath me Criss cross of smoke trails in the blue beyond A Patchwork quilt of yellows and greens below me. Towns and villages turned so small I could scoop them in my hand Rivers laid out like twisting lines of thread As an arrow straight and true we pierce the lowest clouds Reaching for the top of the sky, carried on strong grey wings. Stretched out below a long blanket of white A sea of pure untrodden snow, where no-one could ever walk upon Except in a dream perhaps. I could float down and gently lay my head or jump up and down and make the swirls dance higher into the air I could sit on the edge of the wing of my bird Feel her every heartbeat, feel the chill of the wind on my face. But inside I am still outside Outside my everyday world Willing this great eagle to take me somewhere new Away from the safe and the known Majestic in flight we rush over mountains and seas She carries me off further into the blue So take me to some distant land Anywhere you please You have seen so many places I have yet to share Touch me down on a foreign shore Speed me to the new. Banking slightly to the left, falling, descent into the mist Finally my great bird comes to rest I turn and look back, there she regally stands Glistening and white in the soft shimmer of the day My journey ended for a while But really just begun.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
