Soaring, aerodynamic voice, <br />Engines purring silk and steel <br />Scaling effortless in flight <br />On wings of song. <br /> <br />Jetstream jazz to rattle bones <br />Of legions lost, lovers found <br />Among the blues of hell and heaven, <br />Night and Day. <br /> <br />Soft, she glides as vapor <br />Siren zephyr of seduction <br />Life and lust in sultry notes <br />Among the stars <br /> <br />Full throttle, thunder crackles <br />Peeling sky from crags of stone <br />Carving harmony from heights <br />Of rage and pain <br /> <br />Easing in for her descent <br />A perfect landing, glorious pitch <br />As cities lift their lighted fingers <br />To lead her home <br /> <br />Jazz' brightest constellation <br />Linking Dukes and Counts and Kings. <br />Time to rev those engines, Boys, <br />And take a ride.<br /><br />Lori Boulard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flying-with-ella-f/
