To walk on water is an amazing thing i can’not do,
Flying across the sky, never will i fly, a thought from my mind.
Through walls of solid never will my physical body walk,
I have not the power to raise my hands and change the world.
To part the sea is a wonder that i’ve not yet seen,
Fire i can’not make rain from the sky, no not I.
I have not the ability to hide from pain,
Fear is an emotion that lives in the human being.
I am not god fore it is that i may bleed and do,
I breathe the air but no guarantee of a tomorrow.
Mortal I am, for now here i’ll stand and walk this land,
Older i’ll get as surely i will not live forever in this place.
One day i’ll die and pray that my new home will be beyond the sky.

Beautifully written.
It’s like an exposition and commentary in poetic form on the line expressed by Desdomona in Shakespeare’s Othello, “Men are not gods.”
Such sadness. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful post.
