Acquiescence of Levity Inclinations

Shall we acquiesce to mornings first glow in flight To the flags of yellow golden daffodils lined in a row Flowing over mothers’ soft hills on new born grass Like tiny soldiers at attention on the milky dawn Elsewhere over the marbled planet surface blue Where baby dolphins jump from the womb From their home of salted liquid depths Only to land in a splash to ocean’s laughter Harmonized with giggles from children on a day trip Watching with wide eyes from somewhere ever after If not on the iron boat deck wide awake Surely students would be beneath the waters deep Out at sea is no place for little children, trip or not Should a storm arise upon the morning Ships are known to sink without a warning No matter what the acquiescence inclinations are No matter how delightful nature seems to be Or how high the dolphins leap to leave the sea Safety should always be our first consideration Regarding such destinations and flights in levity *Note: (If only dolphins and children could fly away to distant destinations. If only flowers could retain their yellow. What a different world this would be.
