If we could follow a journey
as the crow flies
we would find our way over the murk
leaving behind the disruption
and misdirection
we would soar to our rightful place
we seek only safe passage
through a darkness that grows
we chase warmth on a cold night
and sunlight at the dawn
but we must overcome
man’s true nature
leaving this soil
taking wing
finding our freedom
and our safety
in the skies ~ Caroline A. Slee
