Lift, Thrust, Weight, Drag…

Lift, thrust, weight, drag…

As the hawk raises 

It’s wings spread wide 

Gracing the air to lift up 

Against the tides of gravity 

To thrust between trees, leaves

 Just to be guided by it’s breeze 

Gliding through the sky 

Feeling the weight of the world on its shoulders 

Being carried and dragged

By the heaviness 

Feeling like boulders 

The other birds swarm around 

To encourage this hawk 

They must fly 

Above it all

In order to reach solid ground 

You must soar 

Life has its pitfalls 

Before one can walk 

They must crawl 

Through the depths 

Of the darkened tunnel 

Experiencing deceivers and liars

Bridges set ablaze by hellfire

Gathering knowledge and wisdom 

Illuminating the truth 

About life’s lore 

Birds of a feather, flock together…
