Land Ho

Land ho!
If I can just make it to that post….
Bird was exhausted, but distant dot gave him hope

Now if you can make it to the next landing spot
You have it made, an inner voice said
Bird asked the voice to back off
Let me have ten minutes to enjoy this, okay?

Send him an owl, inner voice said, loud enough for him to hear.
Bird flew off, frightened and unrested.
