If the sacred kingfisher flies, <br />It will frantically be flapping its wings to <br />The sand of the sea <br /> <br />To make this deep curve be a kind of rainbow. <br /> <br />Its flight can be like a deep, steady wing that beats <br />The air to fly higher and higher. <br />In fact, its wings seemingly bite the air. <br />So skilled at flying <br />Is the sacred kingfisher <br />And so naturally suited to the sky <br /> <br />That it can make this deep curve be a kind of rainbow. <br /> <br />From that deep curve comes its screams <br />And the bleeding rain, <br />While the bird is frantically flapping its wings <br />To eat its silent prey, <br /> <br />And to become a broken winged bird, <br />That cannot fly <br />Any longer. <br /> <br /><a href='http: //www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/CA47U_2VU2X_R73B2' title='MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected'><img src='http: //storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png' alt='MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected' title='Copyright Protected' width='145px' height='38px' border='0'/></a><br /><br />Marieta Maglas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flight-26/
