Callie Carroll - Meant for Flight
1 Views • Nov 08, 2014
Description
a tanned Tarzan
inching his way to the top
Rope in hand, taut hum of sinew,
Your Essential Self- meant for flight.
Meant for flight, you tried to take us with you
Earthbound, we bound you flightless.
Now
I await the dawn
and bear witness to your first
and final flight.
At the top of the tower-
a gleeful king of thrilling heights
hurtling with wild abandon.
On earth-
the Truth is what I require:
Did you cry in anguish when the harness broke?
Or spread your wings
to taste the Joy of Flying
for the very first time?
Callie Carroll
