Perched on the cliff face <br />Looking at a brave, new world <br />I cry from the wilderness, hear it today <br />Hear it for a thousand years <br /> <br />The earth shakes and i catapult <br />onto a warming updraft <br />Circling, wheeling among the Winds of destiny <br />Beneathe, all the planet trembles at her footsteps <br /> <br />While thunderclouds colour the sky my claws flex <br />I swoop, i dive, the wind caresses my wings <br />The clouds part and for one second, <br />There a playmate, together we merrily chase the wind<br /><br />Bud Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-to-fly-oh-to-fly/
