5 days of poems, day 4 - Taking Flight

Beat, beat, with the pounding of the drums

Fly, soar, glide beneath the roaring sun

Step, step, ever growing nearer

One, two, forever getting older

Rise, rise, look unto the future

Stand up, ready for adventure

Take flight, I'm never getting younger

Leap, cry, always getting closer

Once more, fall into the dreamland

And wait for another day

...

Stand strong, wind buffeting the cliff side

Glance back, home to where I reside

Turn 'round, Fate isn't waiting

Out there, the magic lies in hiding

I fall, strength of innovation

Arms wide, coasting on the currents

As one, being and mechanic

Soaring, no hint of any panic

Right along beasts in scale and in feather

Glide past clouds unrolling thunder

Side by side, not waiting for the future

This sky is where I belong

I'm taking flight
