RELEASE
A flower opening
A shell breaking
There is a push
A spilling forth
And I sit wide-eyed
In unfamiliar surroundings
A breeze touches my skin
I shiver
And am covered
By warmth
A blanket of love
Loving parents
Always there
My feather are
Crumpled sticky useless
I do not know
At this point
That they can be unfurled
Stretched wide
Creating shadows over whole cities
That they may be like the waves
That they may take me up
That with them
I may soar.
