The Nest

towers creep over the morning sky I can’t feel the sun just want to fly my bearing is tilted nowhere to take off life was easier when I was asleep where it is safe the nest is crumbling nothing to hold on to it would be ok to stay but momma has not returned, and I am hungry if I just spread my wings? but it don’t feel right spread my wings and take flight? I want the warmth of her nestled against me close my eyes and be free spread my wings to the sun I can fly don’t want to step out close my eyes for here is where I will die and dream of the freedom to fly
