A Journal for Western Man |

The sky is faint. Sordid seagulls shriek With sickening taint. Tattered grass quivers From frigid breeze. Gray dawn brings shivers, Untouched unease. But at sight’s end One lucid spark Does fast ascend, With fiery mark Ignites the skies. Its vibrant streak The calm defies. Its turbines sleek, Its wings full-spread, Through clouds it soars High overhead. It carves men doors From flowing streams. Below this steed Olympus gleams While it gains speed. It gives no care To trembling dreads. With radiant glare It tears to shreds Grim mystic void, Its forward flight Of doubt devoid, Man’s craft by right, By Man’s mind made, Serving His will, Never to fade, Never to still. Lights everywhere spring, Stagnation dispel. The motor does sing An ardent farewell. The engine’s hum The stars pursues. Ambition’s sum Brightness renews. G.
