I Am a Swallow

Turning and dipping in graceful, acrobatic flight, my spirit soars against a sky brilliantly blue; from these heights, I view life in its completeness, its complex boundaries and limitations sharply defined. I maintain my composure, calm and unruffled by the storms . . . I sail above the strife where the sun spreads warmth upon my wings. From this lofty perspective, I watch over my dearest ones. This clear air provides treasures of wisdom, beauties like the facets of precious jewels, sparkling with the vibrance that makes joy complete; I glean and feed them to my little ones, giving them nutrients to enrich their minds. Home is my central focus. I learn and implement all that I can to make my nest comfortable and complete, a rich environment for growth. Do not intrude; I protect what is mine. © May 11, 2015, Faye Lanham Gibson
