HighGlider

 Silent satellite on the edge of space
 Slides into formation as information skates
  From earth to sky and back.

 Bird spreads broad its wings while swift it flies along
 Gathers solar beams to pay for its soft song
  In coin of captured light.

 What it will not use it scatters off its sides
 Gifting fairy glints to all who scan the skies
  In envy of its flight.

 When its course is run the crystal bird dives down
 Into ocean air where with a flash it drowns ---
  And dark returns to night.
