Unafraid

With wings fluttering so divine

on air like a fallen leaf

distance of heights unperturbed

then landing so brief.

Then small movements unfold

wary yet unafraid

seizing the moment of solitude

feeling none of dread.

So when a small hand waved

as if to catch such beauty

taking off majestically

a show of strength almighty.

So fragile but so strong 

so small yet so free

I long for wings and will

to a place where I can be me.
