orange flight

I had another dream about flying.

I had to take a running start

there were a few of us

flying together like a flock of birds

we were trying to get away from something, or someone

and I'm runningrunningrunning on the pavement

on the grass

I can feel the dew on my feet

and the wind is tearing at my hair

and then my feet shove the ground

and I'm sailing higher and higher

I throw my arms out and laugh

because this is the best feeling in the world.

This is exactly what flying feels like.

I can feel the sunshine and the seaspray and the ocean is crashing below me

but I am not coming down
