Majestic Bird

nature free verse place memory

Flight as lesson without poster.

The bird does not lecture. It lifts — wing trusting air, gust accepted, trust not innocence, calculation with feathers.

Freedom looks easy from the ground. Thirteen knows better: height is rent, landing is negotiation, sky is not yours, only borrowed.

Learn is accurate. Soar is optional.

The bird keeps moving past the lesson you wanted.
