Looking down on the earth and the fields of green There's no need to be wimpish or shy, Its a place you can go, to fly without wings As you punch a hole in the sky. It must seem so strange as you look up above, And behold what is seen with the eye, The clear blue of heaven that's over your head As the fluffy white clouds go by. And soon you are flying like a bird on the wing And you plummet toward earth from on high, Your parachute opens and you realize That you've just punched a hole in the sky. In all of the things you are able to do There is no greater thrill you can buy, So wonderful, and so exciting it is, It can bring tears of joy to your eye. With other skydivers the pleasures you share, For each of you learned how to fly, A wonderful landing, you're back on the earth, But you just punched a hole in the sky. There are many who cling to the earth like a claw, They're the people who've never asked "why?", They'll never know that the reason birds sing Is because they are able to fly. They could not understand how a skydiver feels If you told them till rivers run dry, And the greatest of pleasures a skydiver knows Is punching a hole in the sky. The day is soon over, you stare at the fire, But memories linger and sigh, The crimson red sunset that hovers above Casts a glow on companions nearby. You fill out your logbook with each thrilling move As the shadows of dark seem to tie Themselves to each other, and you smile as you now That you punched a hole in the sky. **** A Poem For Skydivers By Anonymous Eyes to the sky As the cotton clouds pass, Not long ago We were standing on grass. But now we are airborne The ground far below, Its onward and upward, Yes, upward we go. The air walls around us Our souls in the sky And soon the door opens, We're ready to fly. As the signal is given Excitement in all We leap out the door And we're into freefall. The blue sky above us We plunge toward earth, The greatest thrill ever Since mother gave birth. Our hands touch each other Like playing a game, And flying together Our hearts do the same. The wave off is given A moment so great, The pilot chute's out And I watch it inflate. Hearts are racing like crazy, We're using our wings With the sunlight around us Our flying heart sings, Too soon the jump's over And like a refrain, Repack and get ready Lets do it again. ****Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
