Clean cool air strokes my face
Exhilaration embraces my soul
I ascend high into the clouds
Carefully woven fabric my base
Closing my eyes I go very fast
Traveling to a land of peace
Stress and worry lost in the wind
Breathing- steering my only task
The young child inside me giggles
But it’s my elder body riding here
Escaping the ravages of aging
For a moment but it is what it is
I want to travel forever and forever
Never to return to what’s behind
If only whispered wishes came true
This magic carpet ride so clever.
