'I never feel better, she said, 'than when falling in love; <br />weightless, I fly <br /> <br />sometimes fluttering <br />like summer's swallows.' <br /> <br /> <br />'I never feel better <br />than when I feel I have been enough' <br />he said, <br />'for you to love.' <br /> <br />'I remember she said <br />'the fear before the leap, afraid to fall <br />but I leapt for you <br />even though it is was against all my instincts <br />to swan-dive from high cliffs.' <br /> <br /> <br />'I, ' he said <br />'was beside you <br />we two in unison <br />hovering there, I remember <br />soaring, gliding <br />ignoring <br />no, defying <br />the very existence of ground; <br />I had my doubts too thinking: <br /> <br />fools always fly high before the fall <br />I thought. <br /> <br />but gliding winds sustained us in the early months <br />in that cloud-canvass bliss we call love- <br />gravity we defied <br /> <br />not ever knowing <br />the existence of ground, <br />learning the art of treading lightly. <br /> <br /> <br />But a slow orbit had us circling <br />closer ever more <br />toward ground <br />and flyings' end <br />but then <br /> <br /> <br />were given <br />new wings- <br />those of an angel- <br />our child. <br /> <br />We fly once again <br />this time with new wings <br />those which come with family.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flying-while-falling/
