Feathered, protected
You take me under your wing
Holding me close
To your beating heart
I hear your breath sing
With the illusion of silence
You shatter my hope
Swallowing hard
I wonder who you are
A mother bird
Entrusting me
Encouraging me far
I love our mutual interest
The light in your eyes
Captivating
Embracing
From a distance
We are held, in motion
A deep meditative waiting
For the sweet sensation
Of freedom
As we say goodbye
Cutting loose
The ribbon from our feet
Hearts on high
Wings steadied against the wind
All expectations fall to Earth...
Fly.
