Gabriel's Poem Number One
Flyin 

This image is of the late actor Oscar Polk who portrayed Gabriel in the classic film
GREEN PASTURES


GRAVITY...
it was the closest thing
to a "lock" I ever known...
FLYIN'
is
so freein'
the word "cage"
may as well be
translated
"by Ella Fitzgerald" in between the chorus and the bridge of
"Mack Da Knife"
every chain
every lock
every cage
is all just "Greek" to me
But here's one thing I never told nobody
The only things better than
Flyin
is Learnin' to Fly and The Fallin'
They should tell you
that's the story
God Should make a heaven just for those that just like
the learnin' part
The part where you fall into the dirt and bleed and spit out dirt
and you and God be laughin
and he reattaches your wing's and says
"one more time...you got this Gabe"
The Flyin and stunts
The cartwheels around the moon...
seein' how close you can get to the sun before you smell smoke
impresses the other angels
and the people with out wings
But I tell you
the fallin'
was Wonderful
you'll never forget the fallin
no matter how high you get to get
