Taking Flight

Freedom from fear

A lone bird sits on a bare tree branch

The winter wind blows

She tightens her grasp

Not chirping, squawking, screaming nor talking

Composed, silent, calm

She listens

Unaware of danger

Undaunted by weather

She measures the wind as she ruffles her feathers

Not pondering gravity nor what tomorrow may bring

The right current comes

She swiftly takes wing

Oh to be a faith-filled, fearless, free bird

To ascend without doubt and no dreams deferred

Soaring in lofty thought to places unknown

Sightseeing and

Self-discovering

Until I’m full-grown.
