Virgin Flight

I sailed upon a distant cloud in a dream which captured me I woke so far from where I slept and all that I could see A woman still and proud stood perched upon great height Though it were a dream I saw from there her flight She stepped with great abandon and I could hear her call A wind to gather 'neath her wings with promise not to fall As I gazed upon her silent flight all that I could hear The sound of crashing far below on rocks that caught her fear She sailed on silent skies as though she had a chart she navigated not with eyes, but something from the heart Too soon I could not see her, my dream would dissapear As did the very high place that crumbled with her fear Hers was not a victory, where glorius trumpets sang No accolades or grand applause, no adoration rang The flight belonged to her, her fear had met an end The loss of fear was prize enough, she did not fall with them
