UNOBTAINABLE 

When your are Young, how can you dream

about the Macedonia Flower

Which Grows high on the Cliffs of Tasmania

Above the Raging Shores of Tempi.

The Flower Blooms in the Autum

its Nector has a Magical hew of

Sweetness, with a Bitter flavor of Wine

How can you even Dream of such Things,

when you have not yet learned to Fly.

~*~

After you grow and struggle,

and fight the Challenges of youth,

And become strong, and earn your Wings.

How then can you consider

the Nectar of the Macedonia

when there are so many other Flowers,

and so many other places to See,

When all you need to do is

Spread your Wings.

~*~

After Flight has become a natural thing,

why should the Nectar matter,

When you are Raising your Family,

and fighting the Battles of life.

Finding Food, and Shelter

not just for yourself,

but your Young ones, and Mate.

~*~

Then when you remember the Stories of

the Sweet Bitter plant,

which grows High on the Cliffs,

above a Stormy Sea,

how can you even Dream of

Tasting the Nectar

of the Macedonia Flower,

when you have Grown too Old

and too Weak to Fly?
