flight patterns
There are days when I soar, days when I glide,
days when wings flap against wind.
There is the nest that always needs cleaning, the babies that need
to be fed, the busyness of survival.
There is joy and sadness, smoke and mirrors, passion and inertia.
There is promise and potential, fear and insecurity, hope and creation.
All wrapped within this tiny egg that I watch and watch, waiting.
The sun glows through my wings and tinges them purple.
I rest on a branch to watch the sunset. I sleep when it is dark and rise
at dawn, taking off at first light to feel that freedom: flight.
I go higher each day, adding space between me and the tree tops.
I fly so high that I find silence.
All I hear is my breath, a rustle of feather, the wind.
I find myself, up there, in all that space.
Alone with my thoughts and the sky.
There is always room for the view.

Birds, and nests, and tiny eggs rank high in many artists’ symbolism, but you have given an essence to a bird’s being; a feeling of having been there, lived that.
