take flight

Nothing More

I feel a rush as I take in the air 

I’m approaching the North and my nostrils they flare. 

I’m a racehorse trapped in the starting gate tight

Hearing the gunshot it’s time to take flight. 

I shake off the saddle & break from the reins 

Freedom from both limitation and pain

Skimming the Earth my spirit it soars

With grace and excitement, I need nothing more.
