“Flight”

A feather has no fear,

its heart and mind are weight1ess.


A wing sees only air,

and thinks only to fly.

A bird,

Though small,

Is weighted with apprehension
of the flight,

Its mind cannot release itself
and take to the sky...

Fears are like gravity,

pulling it to the earth.


So a bird waits,

for the wind,

A wing will gladly take to the sky
on the edge of a breeze,

Letting go of all anxiety.
