The Pole Vault

 Ding dong, ding dong, a call away from
memories, Pan Am inspired, 
I will not be a slave to me defined
by memories, 
or stories told by other. 
Create a story new, the doorbells call, is joined 
by calls of finch, chickadee, blue jay 
and 
winds of change
"girls do not pole vault" they said. 
Yet fly they do, I see 
them on my screen, 
I will not be a slave. 
How high do I dare fly? 
Watch us they say, come join us now, 
the flash of feathers old and new, 
blue,  yellow, brown, black grey.
I once could not, would not allow the call I knew. But  was defined, by
stories told others, of who I was. 
No more, come join me....
yes, YOU.
Heartfelt daring calling 
it's all around, tap tap, ding dong, 
wind song, 
Hear, hear it now.
Oh, take your pole and run and fly.
