Learning to Fly

And slowly the bird learns to fly again…

It has been pulled from the clouds for so long

First, a stormy sky, too dangerous to face

Then, a broken wing, too painful to use

Using its nest as a hiding place

But one day, the bird pokes its head out

Remembering briefly how it feels to bask in the sunlight

The sun does not last for long before the rain comes again

But every time the bird recalls the warmth of the sun

It realizes that it cannot hide in the nest forever

The bird jumps from the nest, not succeeding the first time

But it ***** its wings over and over again

Getting closer to the great blue sky each time

Now that it has felt the sun again, it will stop at nothing to reach it

And slowly the bird learns to fly again…
