The Descent


We're destined to fly to a better place
as we're soaring way above ground level
with no burdens, just free air at ease,
lighter than feathers and taller than trees
in this wonderful vision we revel
until we descend back down from grace

"We must perform an emergency landing
so take the brace position and prepare"
says the captain to the panicking flock
who jump at every sound, flinch at every knock
and choke on their own words in desperate prayer
whilst the young watch on, not understanding.

If you're headed up, you must too look down
for disaster will come and take Joy's crown.
