An Eleven77 Poem

A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy

Dreams of Flight

by Treischel

To soar above
the silver clouded sky
on wings

Our ancestors
only imagined
such things

'Til recently
could only dream
of flight

While watching stars
as they twinkled in
the night

Or seeing birds
migrating somewhere
unknown

Our minds went where
all the gentle winds
Have blown

Today we soar
In the clouds for joy
It brings






It never ceases to amaze me how these man-made objects of metal can fly. Such a recent event when measured against the course of history.
