Two Ways of Flying

Vazrtre's picture

He strives for flight

Arms extended, fingers spread

Legs locked together

Toes pushing up

His wings beg for the wind

Chest open, nose upturned

Arrogant, 

Thinking he alone,

Can master flight

 

She knows the air.

Knows it like her own name.

Wings cupped to descend

Hair brushed delicately aside

Her slender feet touch gently down

Shy and graceful

She took to the wind

As one born to it
