Flying

Flying.
adjective
1. making flight or passing through the air; a flying insect; an unidentified flying object
2. floating, waving, hanging, or moving freely in the air: flying banners; flying hair.
3. extending through the air.
4. moving swiftly.
5. made while moving swiftly: a flying leap.

Flying. Fluttering. Soaring. Nothing else in this world matters. It's only the breath of the wind floating over your new found wings. No one else makes a difference in your life. It's just you and the air you take in. Nothing can touch you. You are on top of the world. The higher and higher you go the more you can see the mountains and clear blue sky's. Then you feel someone grab you. You can't see their face, you can tell they are no good though. They rip off your new beloved wings and leave you alone to fend for yourself plummeting toward the earth. Yeah you are flying all right. You wake up in a cold sweat in your bed at two in the morning. I guess the only way I will ever learn to fly is in my dreams.
Take that flying leap of faith.

  2. This imagery is amazing! I really like how you turn it into a story, and the line "It's only the breath of wind floating over your new found wings"

  4. This has great imagery, and also has a lot of different meanings. I thought at first, when I read it, that it could be talking about that people tend to tear down anyone or anything that is happy and free.
