Flying Lessons. 2010

 

The swallows have successfully

 raised up their fledging family.

The little ones now have to try

 out their wings and learn to fly.

Although at first reluctantly.

They seem to know instinctively,

 the freedom of the sky is theirs.

But only for the bird who dares

 to leave the nest and try their wings.

Despite the anxious twitterings

of parent birds who have the right.

To watch their first attempt at flight.

They fly because they know they can.

All part of Mother Natures plan.

Very good poem of struggle but nature driven. This makes me think about something I know I take for granted. All the things that go on outside. This is truly thought provoking.
