131: Flying

Have you ever swayed
On the edge of a cliff?
Felt the breeze
Begin to lift
Felt the adrenaline
In your heart
And wondered
If you could fly
What it would feel like
To be carried on the air
To rise with the thermals
And soar without cares.

In my dreams
I swooped and rose
With wings on my back
And the wind in my toes
I revelled in the freedom
Not tied to the earth
Tested my limits
And achieved a new first.

Every time fear

Clutches at my heart
My wings unfurl
Eager to start
My body remembers
What my head
Doesn’t know
Amazing things happen
When you trust and let go.
