fall. flap. float. fly.
them - manned flights
always between two destinations.
between a start and a finish.
maybe, a layover or two
depending on the distance.
then there are the rest -
the purpose, perhaps,
is to stay afloat.
they pause to feed,
swig a drink to sustain
and then they're back
scaling the wind.
the former, we mortals, with a purpose
as wind beneath the wings.
the latter, winging it with
their faith on the wind.
and a will to flap
as and when they fall.
perhaps, their purpose is
to merely fly.
