Excellence Award in the 'The Text Generation 2014' competition
(I submitted a short story but realized i was over my word limit, this is my 2nd submission so ignore the first one)
Slowly drift in the cloudless sky
Great wings spread out for all to see
Twirling, swooping, giddy with glee
Soaring effortlessly so high
how wonderful it is to fly
Kissing the very earth goodbye
Skipping from cloud to cloud with grace
The cool wind caressing my face
Oh it truly is quite unfair
That those grounded can only stare
Roaming the endless blue expanse
I slice through the sky in a trance.
