Flying

In dreams alone we know of flight,
it’s not as if we had the right
so effortless to take the air,
to be like birds and live up there;
no, we with artifice contrive
to launch ourselves and then to strive,
momentum’s shove and maybe glide,
upon the wind we’ll never ride.

Prompt: Write a poem about flight.
Note: The Beatles wrote an instrumental called
Flying which gives a perfect impression of what flight must be like, in dreams at least. I’m not going to compete with perfection!
