Flying

Original poetry

Jen Wieber

It’s true,

isn’t it,

when you fall in love

it feels like flying.

That pristine moment

when stars clash against stars

and the glint of dust implodes

inside of your chest.

The wind lifts your sails

and suddenly you can

cut through

anything.

It’s the two of you against

the world and

your compass knows

no wayward direction.

Nothing else matters,

as if everything from here

to forever will always be

this weightless.

Falling in love

feels like flying.
