A ROOFTOP LONGING

It seems the laws of physics you can bend.
You make it look so simple and effortless,
Like gravity and momentum are your friends.
I wonder if you ever need to rest.
I’ve stood on rooftops and I’ve thought of how,
You leap and gracefully swing from wall to wall.
I dream that there are forces which allow,
A mortal man to leap and not to fall.
The hero’s heart inside me dormant lays,
Full of courage, waiting to unsheathe.
Before this life without adventure slays,
That paladin, that knight which still yet breathes.
But in my longing you have helped me see,
Great power brings great responsibility.
