Learning to fly

 Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord,

Then, I am ready to go!

Just a look at the Horses-

Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side-

So I shall never fall-

For we must ride to the Judgement-

And it’s partly, down Hill-

But never I mind the steepest-

And never I mind the Sea-

Held fast in Everlasting Race-

By my own Choice, and Thee-

Goodbye to the Life I used to live-

And the World I used to know-

And kiss the Hills, for me, just once-

Then- I am ready to go!

Emily Dickinson 

I can fly

St Augustine
