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
