Feeling Flight

Back twist bend
follow through
tuck stretch hyper-extend
Come floor to feet to run to try again to fly

Last night
out the window jumped
ground came fast
Falling from sky

Today's glide fly
from terrain stay takes
blending Wright brother craft with Icarus  style
an wrinkles of whimsy based on Da Vinci's notes

Practice makes perfect
still won't take
try to try again today

Wax wings melt
Wooden wings burn
Gossamer wings wilt to ruin at a touch
Imagined wings won't hold no wind at all

Practice makes perfect
and I try an try again
time is the conflict
that pushes
changes in the plan

So no length of time 
prolong will this body take
flight through the sky
So I've determined
in the oceans 
I will swim glide fly
