swinging up higher
higher each
time
reaching for the sky
trying to be freed
from the limits of earthly life,
stuck to the ground by forces beyond my power.
I see a free eagle
soaring proudly above the school,
once his grounds, not too long ago,
only yesterday
I know it's him. He knows I know.
I smile and reach higher,
totally oblivious to the hum around me.
the hum is so unimportant now,
and nobody can understand why.
