Movement--there-within the sage-
I spied a fluttering--
frantic flapping--squeaky chirps--
little bird too young to sing.

The dog was laying at my feet--
my loyal friend, the predator.
I grabbed her collar in mid-leap;
I had to save the little bird.

Intent on flying--unaware
of danger that was lurking there
baby wren hopped much too near
and quickly learned the lesson--fear.

I worried that I'd lose my hold
of growling dog and bird too bold.
I thought I must be quite absurd
as tears welled up for baby bird.
But then the baby looked our way.
"EEK!" she peeped and flew away.

I, too, want to learn to fly,
but not by fear, but love of sky.
I want to live, to laugh and sing
all for the joy of spread of wing.

I hope I learn a different way
than flight to keep a dog at bay.

To be like the birds and fly through the clouds, true freedom. LOved this insight.
