Within thin air I breathe freely, seemingly without a care, yet if I should dare fly too high, might these flimsy wings fail me? might the winds flail at me, beat me down to the ground? diaphenous, fragile, yet resilient beyond measure, with sufficient strength to capture the slightest gift of breeze I shall remain aloft somehow, not fall to my knees for it's not my nature to grovel in deep pits of gravel, nor succumb to hallowed hail storms fly I must or die |

Kacy...I have a feeling that those beautiful fragile seeming wings are much stronger than they look!  |

Kacy there isn't a thing fragile about you or those wings that keep you in flight! "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Wow, I have been away from this site for a long time now and this was a wonderful homecoming gift! I love the beautiful lines... "for it's not my nature to grovel in deep pits of gravel," This touched a nerve somewhere inside and I really relate to it.   Kicking Kim x |
