The majestic creature
Soars
High above the clouds
Into the heavens.
Servant to no one
Master of none.
Silk wings
Caress the cotton candy sky
Till a message
From inside
Rings
In his ears.
Then he flutters down
To the neighbor's water barrel
Drinks his fill
Then soars again
Majestic being of the sky
Bound by earthly ties.
