The Children Who Could Fly.

Five Minute Friday: Fly

Fly by the seat of your pants today and WRITE for 5 minutes. Get in your quiet space, grab your journal and pen and write what's in your spirit. Post your masterpiece here and don't forget to share the love with the artist who linked up before you.  One love :)  Peace & Blessings and happy Friday!


One day,
in a place where there is
Life After Breath,
they will run-
without a thought in their mind,
without a care in their spirit,
without a fear in in their heart;
they will run,
wild & free.


           
Like a 747
gliding down the runway
slowly gathering momentum,
then
faster 
and 
faster,
heart pounding,
while deep,belly-laughter tickles the
soul 
with 
unspeakable
  joy....
They run.



And after all of that running,
with the strength of Sampson
in their legs,
they will rise up
     FREE.
Free from frowns and frustration,
Free from the splints, braces and chairs
that once bound them….


Free
 to take a gallant leap forward,
spread their wings 
and
fly.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:31

loosely based on The People Who Could Fly by Virginia Hamilton

Visiting from FMF. Nice take on the prompt. I can see the young ones shed their disabilities and fly.
