Did you see her?
Her tail of fire
And wings like the stretching light
On the ocean below
She arched her back
And flew not for the horizon
But beyond
Carrying the hope
The dream
Of becoming one
With the universe
Beauty in the infinite
Never alone

What a beautiful poem. The introduction by YDP Editor definitely helped me to understand what was being described in this poem. Lovely work.

A lovely invocation of the deep spiritual longing that has found embodiment in flight of all kinds throughout the ages.
