Break free!! tear myself away from this cocooned darkness
expelling the stagnant air from my lungs at last
Blazing light of a new world blinds the senses
the warmth caresses the nakedness of my soul
Giddy laughter escapes and rings through pristine air
the palatable taste of freedom moistens the lips
To soar amongst the living joyful air beneath the wings
textured touches fragrant smells and sweet tastes
Oh how life exhilarates this spark within
eternal smile upon my face in thanks for creation.
Warm sun upon the face of innocence
ancient whispers in the air urge the soaring of the soul
Blue sky invites cottoned clouds lazily agree
winged shivers of the spine surge in anticipation
The legs taut with muscles in readiness
eyes gazing up finding path amongst the trees
Unfurled wings gather strength for lift
body in unison takes flight.
Strong wings push and pull the air
my rise quickly above the trees.
The lush greenery of my world in view
the wind caresses my plumage gives life to my wings
Blessed flight awakens reason for existence
it is just to be , to live , to soar.
My descent from high above a joyful ride
wings pinned to my side speed increases
The forceful air stretches a smile across my face
the earth seems to race towards me.
The ground becomes a rest stop not a cage
The soul rejoices the heart sings
my life is a gift forever more
