Flying

What is it about flying
that turns our imagination so
why with every thought
do we dream of letting go

We write books of dragon riders
and fairies with iridescence wings
wizards on broomsticks
all wonderful, magical things

We create machines
to lift us from the earth
space shuttles and airplanes
all technical, science's worth

But that still doesn't answer why...
why that desire to be free
is embedded so deeply
in the heart of humanity

I believe it is because
gravity is our first chain
the most constant
for every living thing

So while all we do is dream
for flying to make us free
let's remember
It's God who makes us free.
