Bird of Prey
I am a bird of prey, constantly on the search for light to guide me.
I fly in the shadows of storm clouds,
Looking for a way to break through,
But there is none you see.
You need a flock to break through, someone to share the burden of flight with.
A family to find the light with, to fight the fight with.
But there is none for me.
I grow tired of flying alone underneath these storm clouds.
My mind grows weary of the thought of any light at all.
Maybe if I were to just close my eyes and fall…
A beat of a wing catches my ears,
And then another and another,
Could it be that my family has come to fly with me?
I open my eyes to find that yes, they have!
Together we ascend into the clouds, relying on each other to navigate through,
And give the others the strength to,
And together, we do break through to find the light is just as amazing as we thought,
We soar together, climbing higher and higher until the storm clouds are out of sight, and we are surrounded by the light.
And we will stay here, holding tight above the clouds,
Supporting each other to stay above are doubts,
In the light and guidance of the sun.
