Icarus myth popularized notion to take winged flight
And for this twenty first century mortal to wax poetic
Stymied sans the principle contrary to Physics and soar to limitless height
Away from temporal axon light
Into the infinite cosmic dendrite
Realization to soar above the heavenly vault in a spectacular sight
Brainchild of anonymous genius minds who left stratospheric legacy
To witness awesome run away might
Obeisance acknowledged this hundred plus year anniversary
Aero planes success got off the ground
Pardon saying that may come across as trite
More than a century elapsed since machines first attempt to remain aloft
Man made invention that glitters silvery and white
Beauty, grace and poetry in motion excise Luddite trace
Despite countless fatal crashes
Tragedy to those loved ones lost in fiery plight
Invisible ethereal essences dwell and hover some place
Occupy a netherworld housed with fellow nymph and sprite
Return to Earth to deliver miracles and prevent near disasters
Although many a skeptic may ascribe phenomena to luck despite
Angelic visage impossible to dispute quite!
