docile feathers
followed over the hill
and the anguish
of yesterday's uncertainty
is valor now: immersion in clouds

This is beautiful.  I don't understand it, but then one doesn't need to understand poetry to love it.  My guessed interpretation is that a bird who became prey to a predator, after his brave fight for his life, is victorious in Heaven.  I am probably completely off-track on that.

..Owl>>it is a poem about a bird
learning to fly--"docile" implies:
willing to learn..well, one day it follows
over the hill, next day it is daringly
immersing itself into clouds..thanks..>>spiros
