A Higher Plane

To take flight

To wander against the wind

And feel the sky press against my face

Is to be at peace with the world.

Amid streams of clouds

And whisps of golden light

My wings caress the heavens

With a softness just short of a touch,

Just below the sound of a hearbeat,

Just above all senses...

On a higher plane.
