Narrative Part I

Narrative
Part I

Austin Moss

Spinning and whirling
Down from the sky
Watching the planes
Flying on by
Carefree and thoughtless
You enjoy just to fly

Coming to ground
Learning to live
To love and to laugh
And how to forgive
But people just take
For as long as you give

Stumbling 'round
Burdened with care
Having none of the freedom

You had in the air
Stumbling and cursing
All thing laid bare

Forgotten and torn,
Life going by,
You sing to yourself
And softly you cry
Alone on the Earth
You give up and die

And wonder,

Why?
