How to Fly

Just lean back, close your eyes and let go. Trust me. I won’t let you down.

Feel me behind you, around you, holding you up.

My power is more tangible than the wind, warmer than the sun.

Feel it soar around you, feel it beat upon your face

Sway – dizzy-headed but safe no tension in your being buffeted by the waves of my love.

Lean into me – I will support you

Lean forward – I will catch you

Lean backwards – I will be there

Lean sideways balance on the currents of air

As I breathe on you

I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL.

Lift your face to meet my kiss

Reach and I will lift you

Up, where the wind will roar in your ears, play with your hair

Up, where the sunlight bathes

Gliding, soaring, spinning

Trust me

I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL
