Why I Fly
A Sonnet by Brain
Why do I fly every possible day?
I fly to escape ordinary things;
Climbing up high my worries fall away
Because of my machine with magic wings.
Then it's time to return for the landing
In my little airplane so small and svelte;
Checklist called out with good understanding
CHECK gas is on and SECURE my seat belt.
Forward slip near the ground, sideways it looks;
Nothing else on earth now matters you see
Beautiful ending, just like in kid's books.
Why do I fly? It rejuvenates me.
Flying takes me from the ordinary
And I become extraordinary.
