Dreamed of Flight



I always dreamed of flight not one such as this an end.
Envision a bird or plane not a human leaping to escape flames.

My last choice was mine and I chose to fly to my end.
With the conclusion that awaited why not soar in my last time?

I was free in these orbital days for seconds then ever after.
Do not shed tears just live your dreams not fears.
