I watch you glide above the ocean
And skim the water effortlessly
You live between the sky
And the deep blue of the sea

When the dark clouds block the sun
You seek shelter from the storm
With feathers ruffled around you
In an effort to keep warm

As the sun starts sinking lower
At the edge of the shining sea
You fly towards the horizon
So graceful and carefree

At night you huddle on the sand
As the waves crash upon the shore
And in the first light of morning
You set on out to explore

I look at you in wonder
And feel my spirit start to rise
As you let the thermals take you
Far beyond the sapphire sky

"We are all angels with only one wing......
we can fly only be embracing each other"
