Heart’s Flight

I have the good fortune to be learning to fly a 1946 Taylorcraft named Simply Magic.

Buoyed beauty delight,
airfoil, propeller,
convection’s currents and
morning’s colored light
lift

our banked rolls

- Simply, Magically -

dancing through
cloud corridors

- these canyons -
consequences of consenting cumulus
passages through
tears of quiet joy.

Now,
between sun and cloud,
this taildragger’s silhouette
borne within the physics of
circular rainbow

changing headings
into Magic’s shadow we cruise
through this colored portal
round and open.

Simply Magic!
