HIGH-FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly

bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on

laughter-silvered wings:

Sunward I’ve climbed, and

joined the tumbling mirth-

Of sun-split and done a

hundred things

You have not dreamed of-

wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence:

hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind

along, and flung

My eager craft through footless

halls of air.

Up, the long, delirious,

burning blue

I’ve topped the windswept

heights with easy grace

Where never lark, or even eagle

flew-

And, while the silent lifting

mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity

of space,

Put out my hand and touched

the face of God.

CURRENTS

Clouds paint the currents of the sky

Forces made visible to the eye

Dreams paint the weather of the mind

Awesome treasures there we find
