A flight to remember


Emerging from the clouds,
She dives into the crisp air with vigor ever so loud.
Chirping with the winds en route,
She enthuses in it exuberance.
Racing with the water gushing below,
She forges ahead into an expanse ever so mellow.
Swirling through the lush foliage,
She sways the daffodils in a rhythm ever so divine.

And shoots up in the limitless sky,
Gliding over the hills,
The entire valley lay stretched before her.
She takes a brief stoppage on one of the trees.
Curious by the arrival of this new visitor,
She is bombarded with questions by squirrels and bees.
“where all has she been?”
“what all has she seen?”
“where will she go from here?”

And she sets off again cutting through the air,
Above the oceans and the seas,
Not knowing about the future yet to see.
She closes her eyes relishing this mystical aspect of life.

And she opens her eyes,
Only to realize that it was yet another dream in disguise.
A dream which was reality in the past,
And a distant memory in the present.
She gazes upwards from behind those steel rods,
With a tear in the eye and hope in the heart.
