Floating.
There's a sense of weightlessness.
Buoyancy.
Undulating windstreams
rippling 'cross my wings.
Wings?
When did I get wings?
I don't know,
but it feels good.

Ruffling.
Feathers fluttering;
wafting down.

Unfurling.
There's a sense of calmness.
Relief.
Uncomfortable; cramped;
release; undone.
Immediate peace.
Peace?
How can there be peace?
I don't know,
but it feels good.

Glorious wings, befeathered,
unfurl.
Shining, glistening, black as pitch.
Ebony wings;
my wings.
Aren't angels' wings white?
I'd thought I was an angel.
Guess I'm not,
it still feel good.

I feel the power hum;
a subtle thrumming
deep in the
wings.
Subtle,
subtle,
building,
growing,
stretching,
unfurling...
Flying
not floating.

Falling rain

I really like how simple this poem is. I love the dream-like feel to it. Good job.
