Well, hello flying wonders.

It's especially sweet of you all to put on a show for me while I sit housetop.

No one's ever done that for me before.

And you.  You're my favourite.

Ripping the sky in two, jet in one half, sound in the other.  Gives me goosebumps.

But wait.

Who are you?

Why, you're beautiful!

Summer slipstream, cumulus contrail. 
Pinion passion.
Beaky baby.
You make it look eeeeeasy.

Can't blame us for trying.

Dear Princess,
It was just for you this splendid show.
What a sky you have !
All over the world skys are so differents.
But humans and birds are similar.
Here we have storks.
Read you.

I come back to this once in a while, every year or so. And each time (without fail) it brings me to tears. You are a poet.
