The First Flight

Delicate feathers of royal blue A sweet symphony of melodious tweets I am the bird, passed by in her tree Wanting to fly, wanting to soar But the ground stands below, dark and unknown How can I risk such an uncharted fate The voice inside of me tells me to fly My destiny awaits in the clear blue sky Yet it holds me back, the ground beneath my branch An unknown distance, an undiscovered realm How do I face my fear when I've never met my foe Alas, I look up to that crystalline sky And I take a deep breath before spreading my wings Off of my branch, I finally leap This baby bird has learned to take flight Soaring above to an unknown height The day is now mine, for I have conquered my plight 4/21/21
