Gliders

Michael L Wetzel

I am entranced by the hang gliders
lifting, drifting, floating over
all of life's sharp edged strands
not concerned, not coerced,
just there.

They float from sand high to
sky places of blues and quiet,
and wind puffed ear sounds,
never caring, nor planning
just there.

And then they lift in flight to
heights imagined, heightened,
focus from my concerns of tomorrows,
not directed, simply carried
just there.

How I envy their flight of freedom
from the pressures of low flying
seers who know nothing anymore
because they gave up, dreams
which are, just there.

Me in flight now, succumbed to pressures
of air flow wing lifts
seeing new, feeling again
not directed, simply carried
just there.
