Thermals

Oh freeing fancy
That of flight
When upwards drift
Air's spirals light
To float in peace
Upon the air
Until your focus
Drifts elsewhere
What fear advances
On the heart
When air's firm fingers
Spread apart
And flapping mad
You plummet fast
These wings your hope
This view your last
And when the wind
Drowns out your prayers
Then with a roar
Returns the air
With strength to match
A thousand wings
Air blows away
All frightening things
Supporting wisps
From everywhere
Your saving grace
Your friend the air
