SEEKING THE SILENCE
4 August 2013

slipping into a reverie
of joy
and wearing it
like a prayer
I spread my arms
and fly
through the pristine blue heavens
in circles
and swoops,
like a yellow-billed kite
teasing the thermals . . .

When you fly you fly with unequaled elegance.

I can see you passing by my window with your bright wings

It's beautiful, and I feel summer scent between the lines. But I'm not sure that I understand the last one. What did you mean by "teasing the thermals"?
Some geysers?

Thank you Gale, very much for your lovely comment and your interest. Thermals are hot air currents and yellow-billed kites love to play in them. Smiles.
