Of Man

Crest
Pinnacle
Wings displaying full splendor
Sigh of relief
The weight removed
Lasoe
Net the mare
The veil removed
Relization, comprehension
Harnesed on, like saddlebags
Crack of the whip
The plummet of wingless flight
The rugged thump and tumble
The drizzle of rain
The harsh pity of defeat
Racking sobs, the weight of a burden
The haunting demons
Serated maws come a’callin
The scramble, despair
The rise, the steady plea
Hands spread, the tears of sweat
Upon the horizon
The rise, the fall
Of man
