the seeds are feathered
and ready to fledge
on the nest north wind
Fly Away Home
Wing And A Prayer
fan of feathers
catching air
ascend ascend ascend
Morning Glory
I fly in your sky
and swim in
your ocean of blue
Fledgling
first flight
first landing
parents made proud
Belief
the power
to rise
intention under wings
Homemaking
seeds ready for flight
intentions set on next season’s
home for monarchs
Departure
on red leaf wings
summer days
fly away
Enter Stage Left
swooping in
summer arrives
on red wings
Congregation
like dandelion wishes
snow flies and floats
congregating in expectation
Flight Delay
milkweed seeds shiver
reluctant to fly
side by side with the snow
Resolve
between the frosts
a final bloom
tenacity of beauty
Here
swim the sky
fly the water
heaven is on earth
