The Gift Of Wings

The Gift Of Wings

 

It’s a most sad day

When hawks do not fly

Everyone says they’re great

When circling in the sky

 

Some days they soar

Above mother Earth

With the clouds up high

Inviting to the birds

 

Many days are spent

Against gravity

And it is always there

Pulling at their strings     

 

Hawks of all sizes

Oppose the pull to Earth

And with powerful strokes

They lift high as cherub birds  

 

I see all the airplanes

Flying too with wings

Though they don’t compare

To hawks with their screams
