Unfurl, my wings


Standing on the cliff top
Wind howling all around
Seagulls soaring both overhead and below

I tear off my shirt
Unfurl my wings
And launch upwards

Outwards

Onwards

Into the great freedom that is before me; the unknown that is commonplace.

At one with the elements

At one with the atmosphere

At one with the world.

All is good.

Effortlessly, I fly. Once more, I fly.

And very soon, I shall fly again.

      Ah… now landing, VK, is one thing I really must work on. I tend to miss the landing zone somewhat, that’s all!

    Sigh. You can fly? Lucky you, Tom. Will you share instructions or is this a special talent? 😀 😀 😀

      I can indeed, Tess, it’s just something I ‘do’. Been doing so for years, but never realised I had the wings before…

        😀 😀 😀 I know I should be jealous, but I don’t like heights.

          I’ve been known to fly an inch off the ground. It’s still flying! 😀
