Wing Shadows
Wings shadowing below...
Ever following yet never quite meeting,
Gliding smoothly over lakes and valleys,
Distorted and misshapen by crevices and rock;
Yet, beginning at once, as each stroke simultaneously blends.
Like eternity this powerful flight,
As we strive to shadow the ones who soar before us.
Never quite with them, yet close enough to mirror their efforts.
Distorted at times by life’s inconsistencies.
We find ourselves stretching and releasing as they.
As we rise ever higher,
Wings overlap wings and time overlaps time.
Transformed,we become the wings for the shadows that follow.
