Things That Fly - Created ByHand Challenge

Dedicated to the Paralympians

STAR-WALKERS ALL

Taped to the door
Inside the Captain's Locker:

Aetheris Avidi, Eager for the Air
(Motto of the ATA: Air Transport Auxilliary)

They first flew
over
Cornfields
then
Battlefields -

Went on
to
pierce
the
Starry Fields
of Night -


Now
it's My Turn

I traded my
earthbound wheels
for
Wings -
and
became
a
StarShip Captain.

You may ask
what I do for a Living?

I Fold Space and Stars
and
Sing My Own Road.
