WINGED ODYSSEY
I do not envy
Them, who defy gravity
Yet, were i able
I would relable,
My feet to fly
My hands to try
Greeting moon maiden and martian
Where in persimmons grow a garden
When thunder clap, serious in storm
Challenges me, there to carry on.

    Yes, when challenged, stamp one's authority and create a sensation. Others must know one is serious about matters! Great lines Gillena!
