    soaring high
    feeling the wind
    under the wings
    greeting birds
    catching currents
    cursing planes

    visiting lands
    marveling at the sea

  • happy thought

    there it is
    this tiny little

    other person is

    clap clap
    thump thump
    swish swish

    instruments playing
    hearing the laughter
    feeling the enjoyment
    everyone's joining

  • locomotion

    being around
    rolling around
    crawling around
    walking around
    jumping around
    driving around
    flying around

    going somewhere?
    arriving anywhere?

    part of the goal is
    enjoying the journey
