Wondered

I have always wondered how it would feel to fly.

To be untethered from gravity, free.

Would I be frightened by the weightless sensation or empowered by the unlimited potential?

To see the world anew.

Would it be the adventure of a lifetime or the ultimate letdown?

To fly with the wind.

Would I travel to new places or find myself lost, adrift on the breeze?

I sit here, still wondering how it would feel to fly.
