Sunlight and Shadows


Airborne

What is it that is such a thrill

To rise up through gravity’s barrier

The moment of breathtaking speed

Leave earth behind and ride the air

What is it that is such a thrill

To look down from the air so high

And see the tiny earth below

To hang suspended in the sky

What is it that is such a thrill

To rise and fall, to turn and glide

Complete control in all directions

To go somewhere or just to ride

What is it that is such a thrill

To finally descend back down

To leave the surreal world of flight

And stand again on solid ground
