Gravity is a universal law
Essential to all
existence,
Growing or slowing
by relative mass
With elegant class
and persistence.
And I and you and
The fresh morning dews
Must yield to the
ultimate power
To find it our
friend from beginning to end
As life breathes
in every flower.
Alas, longing to
fly
Far beyond the red
sky
From horizon to
distant horizon
To frolic and sing
Like a bird on the
wing
And elude this
terrestrial prison.
As Icarus learned
in his quest for the sun
There is consequence to every action.
And though it be
regal
To soar like an
eagle
Might we e’er
achieve satisfaction?
While we ponder
and preen in
Our flying
machines
Jumping mountains
and oceans
With utter delight
The thought seems
absurd
We should covet
the birds
