Putting my money where my mouth is

Okay, I've talked about handwriting, so I figured I'd actually show it. I wrote down a little haiku I wrote last night. My cursive is obviously a work in progress, and I enhanced the image so you could see it better, but here it is anyway.
A little explanation: the haiku is about aviation, and how equations are what make an airplane fly because if it's designed badly it won't stay in the air.
A Torii is a type of Japanese gate that marks the boundary between the mundane world and the sacred. Shinto holds that sacredness can be found in nature, and is that feeling you get when something you see inspires awe.
If anyone wants it, here's the haiku in an easier to read format:
To soar rather than burn,
one must fly
through a Torii of equations.

Yes... looks like I need to rewrite it. I'll add a translation so folks can see it better.

thanks for the translation and the explanation of what aTorii is. I have been through a few in Japan although I didn't know what they were at the time, other than pretty.

@Rohvannyn my husbands best friend, might as well be a brother, was stationed over there, he paid for half the trip, only way we could afford to go really

Oh, I'd love to go to Japan someday. My high school had a simple torii at their entrance.
