If only we could sanctify our bodies
Without selling our souls
To that elusive devil; the mere shadow of a man.
The one who makes us eclipse the loon we really are
When we howl at the ground beneath the vacant moon.
To remain impassive would be to create a precedent
For the ones who follow
To turn their backs on transcendence for being too evasive.
A lone angel's methods may be defective,
But the efforts of many lead to a victorious flight.
Author notes
This one took a lot more work than I thought it would, but I think it turned out alright. I have to give my friend Glenys some credit for giving her reactions as I wrote it (Thanks Glenny!)

Very very good poem!
Different, abstract, and everything I was looking for.
I love your style of writting, and you actually use spellcheck! haha!
Goodluck in my contest! -

Yay! I was hoping you'd say that. This has to be the most abstract poem I've ever written; it just seemed perfect for your contest.
