Prompt: Independence

Take a Leap

Do you feel the wind in the branches, my children?

Feel how they move, swaying…swaying…

For now you are safe, but soon you will emerge.

Do you hear the hawk in the sky, my children?

Listen for his call high above, searching…searching…

For now you are safe, but soon you will see.

Do you see the clouds that block the sun, my children?

Thunder and lighting, dangerous…dangerous…

For now you are safe, but soon you will fly.

Now it is time.  Are you ready, my children?

Feel the breeze in your feathers

Listen for the sounds of danger

See the world for the first time

Step to the edge

Take a leap

And fly!
