Reach

Up upon those thermals fly
Home away from home- the sky
Bless me with your lonesome cry
Eagle in your flight.

Stay aloft beyond our view
Let not man cause harm to you
Looking down on what we do
Not a pleasant sight.

Symbol of the brave and free
Just a dream if you ask me
No resemblance I can see
Difference day and night.

Instinct does your freedom shield
When to soar and when to yield
Truth only to you revealed
We don’t get it right.

Freedom is your state of mind
What we only wish to find
Fault of all this human kind
Holding on too tight.

Still we pray your influence
Graces man when he repents
Our potential reach for sense
Draws us to your height.

John H. Bidwell

John the rhyme and cadence is superb in this
splendid poem. Sadly some of the negativity
is too true.
