The sensation of flight without strings.

I think I’m a bird, soaring high above the world.

I’m a plane with wings spread outward.

I can feel the air rushing past me.

I feel free and enjoying the thrill of the moment.

 

Nothing to impede my progress, or even

a thought of slowing down.

Moving from side to side, or possibly

head over heels.

 

You can’t believe the sensations that are

careening though my body.

From the heavens I come floating, flailing,

forging my way unabashedly.

 

Scared at first, but that soon is overtaken

by another sense…excitement.

Can you feel it yet?

Have I enticed you to feel my senses?

 

What seemed so far away at first,

is now coming closer and closer.

There is only one thought,

that comes to mind…

 

I sure hope this darn parachute works!
