• running free
    jumping high
    envy the birds as they fly
    earthbound soul yearns for the sky
    watching them climb so high
    matching pace on the ground
    flying winds, running unbound
    fell the earth
    feel the wind
    flight granted in soul so sound
    swiftly swiftly, run so fleet
    birds' pace still unbeat
    frantic feet covered in dirt
    boundless joy, infinite mirth
    faster, swifter, strength unbound
    gaining pace in leaps and bounds
    journeys end not so near
    personal goal left uncleared
    faster, swiftly now
    passing hawk, passing owl
    end so near and yet so far
    a final burst of strength
    energy spent its length
    for one first flight.
