Spirits In Flight Poem by Patti Williams

My first flight in a glider plane!

There you were... in the air.
You flew beside me - touched my hair!
Climbing, climbing, together we flew...
Through the clouds, as one, we two.

Climbing, dropping, leveling off...
When there in a pocket, we were caught!
As lovers enthralled, we wanted to stay...
Travelers through time, lingering to play.

Ne'er to earth we wanted to fall...
'Fly through the heavens! ' we heard one call.
Fly on the wind, climb in the air...
Soaring, soaring, withought a care.

As earth pulled us down, those bonds we severed...
To ride the wind in the sky forever.
