Grounded

We flew together,

soaring higher than

our dreams ever took us.

Hand in hand

we rode warm currents,

watching earth slowly

getting smaller.

An eagle followed us,

screaming displeasure

at our intrusion

in his lofty kingdom.

Laughter echoed

between majestic clouds,

love carried us

along this magnificent journey.

We took flight,

holding each other

tight.

And though it seemed

like we were flying,

we always remained

grounded.
