Being free
Using the earth as your playground
Terrified of being caught in little kids hands
Thoughts of blowing away in the wind send chills down spine
Expressions of their identities printed on their wings
Respecting nature as they fly by
Feeling the wind beneath their wings
Landing on a flower petal
Yielding to taste the sweet leaves thankful to be alive another day
