At first blush
It was a good idea
A fine plan,
A jaunt across the sea
But as he flew
Higher into the sun
The sudden realization
Of damage came undone
It was far too late,
he plummeted into the deep
Now his wings are plucked
under the horizon he’ll sleep.
But like the dawn each morn,
the day will come again
He’ll rise into the sky once more
to inspire the hearts of men
