I gaze around me, take it in
All beneath me,
visible yet distant
Close yet far
Tangible yet immaterial

The wind flows around my body
Cradling me in a way no arms ever could
Isolating me
Insulating me
Inundating me

I stretch my arms in every direction
Reaching out further than myself
Consistently unfolding
Continuously broadening
Constantly expanding

This is freedom
This is abandon
This is flying

I ran
I ran faster than I'd ever run before
And just when my legs gave out,
my wings took over
And then
I flew

My Love is like the Mountain  Sky
Every day She changes
Every day I swear She could be no more beautiful
Every day She proves me wrong
