Swift Adventure

Author: Kevin Hutchens
Year: Adventure

Flying smoothly over the afternoon waves,
Spying the tourist at play,
The dog walker strolling along the prom,
The stranger reflecting on all that is,
Gliding with the Seagulls
The beauty of the day to behold.

What an adventure to enjoy the sea air,
The flight cleaning up the insects,
Salt pervading the atmosphere,
Windmills peeping over the horizon,
Waiting for Don Quixote,
Old Red Sandstone the backdrop,
Toddlers playing in the sand,
Isn't it grand.

The discovery of the adventures of flight,
All Swifts friends together,
Moving with precision,
Nature's orchestra to perform for,
For this is wonderful,
Magnificent,
Joined together in the harmony of birds song,
The gift of the Creation of God revealed,
For this is the Swift Adventure.
