Wings Of Temerity |

Wings of temerity We fly within the common stream Like birds that fly in common team. From high to low on winds that blow And sow the things that we should know. But we have not the sparrows joy Nor marrows hollow they employ. But fly in mental subtlety In vies of subtle scrutiny. Each rush of air beneath our wings Uplifts us bare by puppet strings And we must mask our naked soul With webs of brass to hide the whole. Common is not common at all And ordinary not a call. We are a gel of many things A subtle well of many springs. A species of temerity With just a breaths sincerity. |

I do believe that in a whisper, you just made everyone who reads this feel better about themselves... quote: And I thank you for this! |

You've captured the essence of a human being so well in this wonderful poem "Each rush of air beneath our wings Uplifts us bare by puppet strings And we must mask our naked soul With webs of brass to hide the whole." What a verse from the master of poetry. This kind of writing, however , is something you can't teach. Superb writing Liz |
