Take Flight

Leslie Ann Steinman
I'm going around again, going around again. Getting close to the land. How can that be, they stand in the sand. Palm trees all around. These are the sounds they make. I hear it come back to me, over and over again. They stand with there toes in the hot sand, looking for me. There she is looking. Somehow I feel her connect. I pop up and see, her eyes looking back at me. Even the tears that blur my eyes, because today again I won't fly, I still see. Somehow I feel like she knows why I cry in the night, because again I'm too afraid to take flight. Cutting through the water faster and faster I go, I'm going to do it today, this I know. Coming around again. The water pushing on my face, stroking my body, energy building as I keep pace. There they all go, a beautiful state of grace. Coming around again, I have to fly and spin. It's in my heart this flight. Jumping far into the light. Freedom from within, oh how I need to spin. Coming around again, they take flight and spin. I want to stay until I can fly, but they push me along because soon it will be night. Off to cry in the night, and dream. In my dream at night I have no fear. We all break the surface together as one, taking flight towards the light of the sun.
I'm coming around again. Faster and faster I go, cutting through the water I know, today won't hold me back from my dreams. I'm letting go of the fear. Today is the day. We break the surface with speed, and fly high into the sky. The light shines back on me. I'm free. Coming around again, this time I know I will spin. We all crash through the surface once again, and boy did I spin. I cut through the water fast as I can, the surface is now my friend. I soar through the sky with my new freedom. My fear left in the wind. I go by the land and there she does stand. This time the tear is in her eye, and we both know why she does cry. She can see me, and for us both I took flight. Coming around again. I break surface alone, flying high into the sky, spinning closer and closer to the light. We are free. She does see me.
