Fallin' & Flyin'

At long last, the windows open,
Perched precariously,
But ever so elegantly on the sill,
This bird finds its wings grown to size..

On the back of a long lesson in flight,
It arches it's head, raring to go,
Having learnt it's lessons of balance in life,
It finally really is ready to go..

There is now wind in its feathers,
Strength in it's talons,
But as life would have it,
As life should have it,
The winds are still to be waited patiently for..

You cannot swim against the current,
You cannot fly against the wind,
And why must you,
For when there is help to be had,
A push to set each of us off on our paths,
Why go against the flow?
