Ride on the Wind

Ride on the Wind

Out into the blinding sky
Floating, soaring figures fly
As a silent airplane falls up.
Vertical dive on your back
Like a hunting eagle,
As earth-pushed air roars.

Arch back, and the roar dive becomes swoop
While the formation and you freight train on railroad tracks of air.

You flare to coast as the joy wells and flows into the sinewy dance
Of flyers on magical columns of air.
To dock with single-pointed mind that ecstasies into an electric smile
As you shake and break to enter.
And the power flows through the formation 'til it explodes
Into fragments which blossom all the colors of spring
And the World starts, again.

Are you going to Deland for SOS, Pat?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Uh-huh, that's what I'm talkin' about.

Great stuff! The Godfrogs would be proud!
