    Solo Flight (abbreviated)

    By Tradford

    The day is just right for companion-less flight,
    winds are calm with no clouds in the sky,
    the critical gear has received the “all clear” –
    now she’s fueled and deemed ready-to-fly.

    The pound of my heart when I’m cleared to depart,
    makes me wonder if all that I’ve learned
    will ensure I survive, that I’ll get back alive –
    still intact when my flight is adjourned.

    I know I’ve progressed and that leaving the nest
    is a ritual all must transcend,
    but I find it profound that there’s no one around,
    if I panic – that might be the end!

    I’ve reached AGL in my flying gazelle
    and the tower has cleared me to land –
    I’ve already seen that the gauges are green
    and the cyclic is firmly in hand.

    I try to be neat with my hands and my feet,
    keep her straight ‘till we come to a stop,
    and I’m back to the stand where my journey began –
    the experience – over the top.

    My memory’s tossed to the hurdles I’ve crossed
    and the times I was ready to quit –
    the tasks I assailed and consistently failed,
    and a few that I hate to admit.

    This tunnel has light that is barely in sight
    and there’s no turning back now for me –
    I’ll stay on this course if it leads to divorce,
    but a pilot – I’m destined to be!
