Fear of Heights
He plunged into a concrete sea
From his perch atop the tower. Little sad and lonely me Admired his courage and his power. As the man approached the ground, I could not see his ivory wings. Death arrived and wrapped around and rescued him. To death he clings As life raced up toward the sky To catch the man and death before They got to heaven. Fast and high they flew up to a golden door. Death won within a second flat, and life had tried so very hard. Death stepped over the welcome mat, And gave the man up to a guard. The guard had said "no entry here!" And death's victim began to cry. "I couldn't take life! Am I clear?" Guard said, "It's not your time to die." © 2014 Nicholas Emeigh |
