The first flight !


The brilliance of the sun's rays flood the nest,

the tiny creature hopps out..

oh! its another day..it thinks


Flutters the bird from a branch to another,

spreading its feathers..preparing itself

for a start of a day anew..


It looks out into the endless horizon,

Its a big big world, dangers out fo her

some seen..some silent...


Thinks the meek soul to itself,

should she venture out alone?

she has parted from her mother not a day ago!


Frightened she is.. to face it all by herself,

apprehensions arouse within her little heart..

has the time really arrived?


With a staggering effort she begins her flight,

her first flight, her first endeavour.

Into the treacherous world where she must learn to fit in..

In a world where she must build a place for herself!

very apt selection of words... the piece very successfully describes the apprehensions as well as the optimism behind that... while the bird might take some time to build a place for herself, you, for sure have built a place for yourself in the world of poetry :)

way to go !
