Callie Carroll's 'Meant for Flight' – An Uplifting Tale of Strength and Aspiration ✈️

In my mind again- <br /> a tanned Tarzan <br /> inching his way to the top <br />Rope in hand, taut hum of sinew, <br />Your Essential Self- meant for flight. <br /> <br /> <br />Meant for flight, you tried to take us with you <br />Earthbound, we bound you flightless. <br /> <br />Now <br /> I await the dawn <br />and bear witness to your first <br />and final flight. <br /> At the top of the tower- <br /> a gleeful king of thrilling heights <br /> hurtling with wild abandon. <br /> <br />On earth- <br /> the Truth is what I require: <br />Did you cry in anguish when the harness broke? <br />Or spread your wings <br />to taste the Joy of Flying <br />for the very first time?<br /><br />Callie Carroll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/meant-for-flight/
