Wings Outstretched Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Wings Outstretched



wings outstretched as long
as countries on Earth
now just floating
the giant birds
flying

The birds in the first stanza are so completely focused on their flight they are totally fulfilled by ACT whereas humans are always watching themselves via consciousness and never purely in the act of being. THERE'S NOTHING GOOD OR BAD BUT THINKING MAKES IT SO, says Hamlet; he is not arguing for moral relativism: he is saying our human lives are complicated by every act being haunted by thought, weakened and diminished by thought. Hamlet wants to sweep into his revenge, as he puts it, as righteously as your birds fly in formation without the drag and nag of consciousness interfering with pure action.
