title: fly
some how i wish i could soar bend these broken wings take heel leap off mountain tops feel the wind beneath me feel her caress my feathered tip as i glide feel her fight as i make my decent.
but scared and marred i linger on the ground watching enviously as others test their flight i was a hatchling once, one that didnt care much for my nest all i could dream of was that step off the branches, stepping into the void that was there i'd watch mother do it countless times before, how hard could it be when the others do it so easily
so with out preparation and before it was time i stepped out of that warm sweet nest exposed myself to the cruel word, fell down spiraling to the ground wings marred damaged beyond repair, still here i sit for years later still beneath my birth tree watching as hatchlings take their first steps to flight confidently after they are more than ready for it,
watching them soar
