Scythes, Boomerangs and Wingspans

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Waiting in the wings
The grim reaper stays his scythe
Till the harvest time

There are reactions
To the manner of our style
Actions boomerang

Lend me your presence
I want to sense your essence
I want to know you

Let's together soar
Let's make astounding flight-plans
Let's spread our wingspans
