Pieces of Eight (2020)

Flying

Some look to the sky with envious hearts,
Desiring to soar among the eagles.
They wish to be free of their heaviness,
The one that grounds the soul.
But the bird in flight is no more free,
Every beat of his wings, just part of life’s battle.
The eagle views the world from great heights,
But only Man perceives its beauty.


"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
