Dense Air

By Ariel Ruggiero- Hampton Aviators Student

Lift Off

In my true element

Uncaged by the norm,

Free like a soaring blue jay looking for

Its inner peace,

The clouds elevate me towards a

higher being

Fill my whole being,

With delight.

As I increase my elevation,

The dense air moving in rapidly from

the north,

Below the crashing waves on the coast

bursting with new beginnings,

The depth of the sea is blue and clear,

Her eyes

My heart skips a beat even way up here

I feel an emptiness as I felt before

Like our last night together,

Purity like a wind caressing

Over a thousands meadows of wildflowers

Up high in the north country,

The ocean is no longer in sight,

And her essence has gone

My aircraft bends and struggles over the dense air

My wings difficult to keep level

I keep pressure on the joystick

Clear skies above the horizon

I head due east towards the morning light

Montauk light

Crisp orange light

Kisses the horizon

A new day is near
