This Lone Pilot Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The flight of this lone pilot,
Has experienced the consequences...
Of dismissing turbulence before.
With a coming 'thisclose' to disaster.
Yet looking back without fear,
To continue on a path moving forward...
That may or may not have,
Similar events that will not prevent...
More flights this pilot has decided,
To test and pass with it grasped.
And adventured to explore the soaring...
Of a life one gets not to sit just wishing,
What it would be like to try to reach heights.
And with attempts of it done,
Unafraid to be made...
This lone pilot everyday,
Dares to be 'more' brave.
With a daring not to listen to definitions of fear.
A fear to keep does not achieve dreams to reach.
