I Am the Ibis

I am the Ibis a sacred bird,
from distant lands of the ancients.

the land of pyramids,
lands of Arabia and Africa.

Bird of knowledge that is friend to the Gods.

Brave during storms my will is as strong
as a Hurricane.

I am the last to take shelter before
a storm approaches
and the first to reappear
once
the
storm has passed.

Nice aspirational poem, I suspect the sentence construciton in the second paragraph could be improved, it seems a little arkward. Keep writing :)
