My Secret

I want to share a secret with you
These conspiratorial tones
Telling you with certainty, I can fly
Not with wings on the air like a bird
Not in an aluminum tube with jet engines
But on metal blades over frozen water
Flying just as sure, the snick snick
Of the steel on ice it's own music
The air rushing past cold and dry
Like an arctic wind blowing from the north
Freedom from the days stress, the weeks
Travails, dropping away with each stride
Pushing harder and longer until you see
My secret, that I can fly
