Oh not until flight
Rises no more to the skies For its own mere will, But, tiring of self, Playing round in luminous profiles, As the tool, as the attainer, The loved one of the winds, Whirling with sureness, a slender, - Only when an innocent “Where? ..” Prevails over the youthful arrogance Of this machine’s ascendancy Tumbling over and over from sheer winning, Will it truly be, in the distance reached, That to which it soared, - alone. |
