Having Wings


“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.”
― Mary Oliver

the hawk sits in his tree
 a massive old snag
here he perches every morning, surveying his domain
he screams a complaint into the air 
and then soars
into the sky
toward the sun

wild and free
effortlessly

ah
I would love to soar
to spread my wings
I would love to frolic, to spin and swirl
to feel the incredible lightness of being that comes

from being borne
by the wind of the spirit
