– Taking Flight –
My mortal flesh is failing,
and I am living on borrowed time.
My strength of spirit is waning,
and if I choose to wait here
for the brevity of your affections,
I will surely fade away.
Nothing but my enduring faith
and the forces of my divine fate
can steer my direction now;
And so I trust in that second sight,
guiding me to once again make haste;
Take flight.
