Wind held just above the bluff-
Sharp eyes fixed on the meadow's edge
The small brown hawk
Moves on educated pinions and rudder tail
His disciplined body on perfect point
Wheeling on the updraft, the screeching gulls
White and grey grace in fluid motion
Follow the leader as they glide
Swiftly, sharply banking above the cliff
out early this morning-the hang gliders-
A bright variety of colored wings
One, soaring window high
Along our cliff perched house
Greets me through the glass with an exultant shout !
Earthbound I throughout the day
Can scarcely wait for nightfall
When in dreams upon my bed, I
Too, gloriously extravagantly free
Shall wing away through boundless sky
