Nature tales you with words sublime, <br />From mouth aloof such we heard, <br />You are neither a foe nor a friend, <br />But we are not grieved, we understand, <br />A pause of your leg is the very end, <br />A huge alarm to all breath, <br />On the face of this thorny earth. <br /> <br />You are the millipede, the cheeta, <br />Tread slow, run faster, <br />O restless horse of ages, <br />The chariot of seasons, <br />The carrier of fates and prophecies, <br />On your fairy wings. <br /> <br />On you we are cautioned <br />To cast our eyes from youth and age <br />We do even on the wings of change <br />On your fairy wings <br />We are on a journey by winds <br />Sometimes the miles look bleak <br />Yet we learn to crawl <br />When our legs are week <br />Knowing you won't wait if we fall <br />We would crawl and crawl and walk <br /> <br />You are the millipede, the cheeta, <br />Tread slow, run faster, <br />O restless horse of ages, <br />The chariot of seasons, <br />The carrier of fates and prophecies, <br />On your fairy wings. <br /> <br />We heard, we see, their ill fate, <br />Those who walked on quick lane, <br />Meandering their way on life's voyage, <br />Faster than their dark nomadic image <br />But Jealous silhouette stumbles <br />Their feet on nemesis. <br />And patience, yes patience, <br />Is one word you teach with a faint voice, <br />The future haunts by the spirits <br />We failed to appease in the past, <br />And wisdom is not to fly over so fast. <br />But to walk by your pace <br />With skyward faith <br /> <br />You are the millipede, the cheeta, <br />Tread slow, run faster, <br />O restless horse of ages, <br />The chariot of seasons, <br />The carrier of fates and prophecies, <br />On your fairy wings.<br /><br />Rex mayor Ubini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-your-fairy-wings/
