The Freedom Of Flying

Taking a break from my usual stories of 'The Speech Writer' to Write a poem. I'm feeling inspired today

I've always wanted to fly.

To lift my feet off of the ground,

and feel the rush of air

as I take off.

Flying would be my freedom.

I could go anywhere,

leave anytime.

I could see landscapes

whizzing below me

in a beautiful blur.

I could dive,

feel the lurch of my stomach,

the butterflies,

as gravity takes ahold of me.

I've always wanted to fly,

but I cannot defy the law of gravity.

I cannot break the chains

that hold me on the ground.

So my feed stay planted,

firmly rooted,

my eyes turned forever skyward,

wishing I could fly.
