There comes a time
When a bird must leave
Its nest.

Because to be a bird is
To be free with their
wings effloresced.

But to fly, one must
First fall, the fear of impact
must Manifest.

The wind sifts through
a young birds feathers, it puts the
Nestlings to the test

The skies can be
Cruel, and dangerous, especially
towards its guests.

But a strong hatchling knows
This and navigates, to find
Its own nest.

Fly fly fly little
Bird, find your new home so
Your mother may rest.
