The Folly of Man Birds

[nibbed]

Oh' to be a bird and fly!                                         What's with the Oh' ? Shouldn't it be Oh, ?

freedom,                                                                seriously, this word just looks wrong without cap
soaring above mortal toil

fleeing in altitudes-
the gravity of the mundane                                   I see depravity of the mundane, is that on purpose?

escaping the grinding down
of a measured life

what chance of flight now

thirty five summers                                                   I can only guess this is age
then consumed of dust

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


The meter was good, but why pick and choose punctuation and caps? Perhaps make it
solid all the way through. Is the Scripture meant as sarcasm? I can't tell, but it might be
me today, the worship center of my noodle has been stimulated. The title caused a smile.
