Sweet dell grass beneath her feet
Stars aligned just so
She took a breath, her wings aflutter
Adventurous heart aglow
Soaring over sparkling tidepools
Smile broad as oceans
Loosed from burden, timeless freedom
Slave to new emotions
At once, she was in Babylon
Then Nirvana under wing
Seven wonders passing quickly
What sights did gliding bring
But given all her travels
She picked one place to stop
On Victoria Falls she did hover
And watched the water drop
Mists rose from water crashing
Surrounded by sheer green
Million gallon constant thunder
A sight she’d never seen
Last stares into the cataract
Basalt gorges, billowing spray
Reflecting on the “Smoke that Thunders”
She smiled and made away
But soon she felt the entropy
Mere hours left today
Reversed her course, contrailed exit
Burden once again held sway
Descended onto sweet dell grass
Pressed down a landing spot
An excited breath, wings now folded
Her stomach a surgeon’s knot
Her one last look crept skyward
The clock had ticked its last
She smiled, numb and tingling
And then her life force passed
For only once Djinni,
Only once a God
Only once on Faerie’s wings
the rest is mere facade
