For The Love Of…Flying by Artemis Crow

Erin Hanson is an Australian poet that I’ve only just learned about. Definitely a “where have I been” moment. What caught my eye was a Facebook post with part of one of her poems. Here’s the full-length poem:

“There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask “What if I fall?” Oh but my darling, What if you fly?”

How beautiful are those words? Simple, but so inspirational. As I work my way through my most ambitious writing schedule this year, as I try to cope with the loss of my mother only three months ago, I’ve found myself floundering a little, feeling flat, wondering why I’m doing this at all.

But this poem reminds me that when you take that leap, sometimes you soar, and sometimes the thermals of excitement and inspiration are hard to find. But you keep searching for the lift so you can push your personal boundaries in whatever you’re trying to accomplish. 

Yes, you risk the fall, but when you fly? It fills your soul.

I hope you’re taking those leaps.
