Flying

Steel bird steel bird with sky high dreams
wending dark ways to the guiding beam
Lightless, less light, wind all 'round
Cloud-dark, earth-dark, billowing sound
Distant pinpricks catching the eye

Stiff back, nose down, gravity defy

Steady 'cline down in a sweeping grand

to rivers of sparkle in an ocean of land

Glitter and shine, ripple and gleam

Living, breathing light in pulsing streams
Closer and closer with swooping flight
twinkling shards to chaos bright
in sight. In mind
deep thoughts blinking in the murky deep
like little green lights at the bottom of the sea.
