The Folly of Man Birds

[Wjames]

Oh' to be a bird and fly!

freedom,
soaring above mortal toil Give me an example of mortal toil, something I can feel.

fleeing in altitudes-
the gravity of the mundane Again, show me mundane - this is mundane.

escaping the grinding down good line
of a measured life

what chance of flight now

thirty five summers 
then consumed of dust

Pslam 39:4
LORD, make me to know mine end, 
and the measure of my days, 
what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

My thoughts, I think it would be stronger if you make me experience those concepts.
