Higher

"High above the city blocks,
soaring above dull roof tops,
straining to fly higher.
Hold your own high,
pull into the tree tops,
sit on the fiery sun."

^^Can I just say that the imagery within these opening lines is beautifully portrayed, it creates such vivid pictures in my mind that it's like I can -see- everything that you're describing. The only thing I didn't like was that the first and second line rhymed and then after that it didn't which threw me a little.

"Watch the air flow bend,
summoning the white clouds.
An eternal life of flight,
carrying along past life's dues.
Bringing along past problems,
tears and pain bundled together."

^^I love the emotion and depth captured within these lines, as I read further along I can really feel the melancholy behind the words and as I read each line I can feel my heart dropping in sorrow.

"Touch the tired ground
with soft, trialed feet.
Find your landing ground.
Lay down to rest,
sinking into deep sleep.
End an eternal flight. "

^^ What a beautiful way to end this piece, so bittersweet and moving, something that really stays with the reader after finishing the piece.

Beautiful work here.
