Flying 02/22/2012
 

Rainbow wings, fluttering, 
catching the golden light 
upon their tips. 
Swooning, becoming 
One in the ecstatic dance of heaven, 
soaring through the wind.

With a tail of streaming colors 
setting a trail that flows in its wake 
of beauty, devotion, and love.

It is unencumbered, however, by what has passed, 
beyond this moment's embrace, 
for it is here simply to take flight, 
and to feel the benevolence of each moment 
as sun and wind, alike, caress its structure 
and carry it to new heights--
that lie even beyond its present focus, 
of simply flying and being free.
