Aloft you watch
a doomed race,
lurching towards their
inevitable final fate.
For now you
scrape heaven's ceiling,
aeroplaning through clouds,
you will still
be here when
man has gone;
unable to flee
on wonderous wings.
All of it
yours again,Lords
and Masters of
the sky, a
golden kingdom will
be yours, a
throne of amber
sunlight your view
of natures golden
age, fearless freedom.

Good poem. I was flying with those swifts when I was reading this...

Ben

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

I cannot imagine how this poem, good as it is, slid to the bottom of a page with but two replies. Up it goes, sir, because it deserves to be read!
