Rhapsody

There once was a bird, who thought he could fly
With no limits in his eagle eyes.

When he reached the top he saw the world,
Oh what tiny world it was.

He believed he could break the sky,
With might and power in his wings and eye.

Only realized he couldn't do it,
Once he reached up too high.

The sun really burnt and he couldn't breathe,
Unsure of what happened inside.

He thought he was strong and unbeatable,
Until he then realized.

The world humbled him to the ground,
That he should occasionally also look down.

There's more than one path to a advance,
Just keep your eyes wide open.

Only later to discover there's more than
Just one path.

He now stopped searching, for he knew
His time was coming up close.

He prayed and prayed to gods of time,
To keep him charged up last time.

Grace he felt, then closed his eyes,
He fell in peace and died.
