PEGASUS FLIGHT

Spreading her wings as the sun did rise
Pegasus readies for another ride

Walking then trotting then running
To the cliff reaching its edge and lifting her wings

Wind catching her she flies in mid air
Gliding like and eagle with the sun in its hair

She looks below at the things Nature
Brought the green of the grass the brown of tree wood

The river that flowed she followed its path
Keeping a pace and not going back

Following for miles and miles without rest
As other passed her in this morning quest

A dove beside her an eagle above
Love and Strength joined the ride

As butterflies fluttered past her below
Delicate and beautiful in the Sun’s glow

Smelling the air as the clouds soon gathered
Pegasus flew but not so much faster

As rain began to fall shimmering in her mane
Pegasus continued as dove and eagle went their separate ways

Pegasus flew until she came upon a peak in the horizon
Where snow dare not fall full of light and beauty

Pegasus landed and ended her journey
Walking along the edge of the peak

She soon came upon someone who was waiting

They came together and soon they were off
Taking this journey together and the sun fell
