Ravings of a Nomadic Mind

OH!!!! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
and daced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward i've climbed, and joined the tumbling of sun-split clouds
and done a Hundred things you have not dreamed of,
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
hovering there, i've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air .....
up up the long, delirious,
burning blue i've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
where never lark nor ever 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
