Given Wings - Collaboration

I am bursting with magnetic fascination Like a chick hatching from the egg Kin to its fated emancipation From the great source of an internal connection To the joy of breathing and grace of living Dangling by the lessons of love and hate That stirs emotions supernal to our gates That open with provoked intoxication So compelled to natures unparalleled state Not knowing the way and direction to take There are no mistakes - only lessons to venerate Like a chick hatching from the egg Wobbly but standing on fresh new legs Dangling by the lessons of love and hate That pain and comfort be the teacher Straightforward and sideways always stepping towards its fate Joyous to be free as nature's perfect creature For Contest: Fine Tune This Collaboration Sponsor: Line Gauthier
