Hovering there Ive chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue Ive 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. by John Gillespie Memorials: In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to HospiceCare Inc.
