A Drawing Of A Man With Wings On A Sheet Of Paper Art

Empty plaza at twilight
serene landscape with mountains and water
urban street with city activity
bicyle resting against a wall
a statue of a man holding a woman
A late night café
animal standing in natural pose
urban street with city activity
a tree in nature
a tree in nature
still life arrangement of fruits and flowers
a painting of a woman with a sword
urban street with city activity
urban street with city activity
bicyle resting against a wall
a statue of a man with a bow and arrow
a statue of a man with his hands up
a statue of a man with a ball in his hand
portrait of a person with expressive eyes
a stack of newspapers sitting on top of each other
bicyle resting against a wall
portrait of a person with expressive eyes
house with front view
a poster of a woman with a speech bubble above her head
a painting of a man with no shirt on
a painting of a man with no shirt on
a painting of a man with no shirt on
portrait of two people together
Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!
