HIGH FLIGHT

by John Gillespi Magee Jr.

"Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings. Sunward Ive climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split cloudsand done a hundred things you have not dreamed ofWheeled and soared and swing high in the sunlit silence. Hovring there Ive chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air topped the windswept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind Ive trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space. Put out my hand, and touched the face of GOD." Service Information June 29th, 2019 5-7 P.M.
