Falconry

Altın Yaprak
soaring on a sea of air
the falcon knows an ecstasy
that birth denied to you and me
it has no enemy but death
and it is unaware of fear
its kingdom is the atmosphere
it lives a moment at a time
and never looks beyond today
it conquers all that comes its way
but then it must return to earth
denied a final victory
for even kings must pay a fee
perhaps not so unlike a man
there comes a time for it to die
and leave the sanctity of sky
we too must fall eventually
to find the falcon's resting place
and greet the falconer with grace
