. Look how those two Still manage to soar Above themselves The lives they actually have How they fly Alone together In a sky only they Can see Poor still Foolish birds They glide and gyre In and through A special blue all their own While the world below Wholly indifferent as usual To what they are Simply goes on its way Yet where on this planet Could they attempt to light That wouldn’t do harm To such fragile invisible wings Staying in an air As only belongs To the both of them now As long as they can is all They can hope to do Their joy in being More again than either alone Could have been just before As if it were possible To never land . |

A fine 'write' ... I am especially fond of the ending: "Yet where on this planet Could they attempt to light That wouldn’t do harm To such fragile invisible wings Staying in an air As only belongs To the both of them now As long as they can is all They can hope to do Their joy in being More again than either alone Could have been ... As if it were possible To never land" serious applause for this 'penning' ! |
