Let the Birds Fly

Quiet and secure in her nest

fearfully observing the beauty around her.

The clouds soft in the blue sky

The breeze gentle in the air

The blades of grass sync to the rhythm

The comfort confines her in her space.

Alone and safe

Fearful to open those wings

Nature moving about

There’s a familiar prompt

With shaken wings, she raises her body

Lifts her wings and soars through the air

Feeling the air between every feather

What was she so afraid of in the first place?

Forgetting the fear, she flies free towards the horizon

Leaving her past behind and enjoying the moment

As the air lifts her carrying her into a freedom she has never felt.
