to the tip of the branch,
trying to keep her balance
as it sways up and down,
up and down,
against her weight.
He beckoned her
to take that leap,
while circling around the tree,
waiting for her
to follow his lead.
She stood there,
all quivering inside.
Yet, she bravely
straightened her spine
and piled up all the courage
that she could muster.
When a breeze came,
she took that final step
and let herself fall.
All along he was watching
her from afar as she faced
her fears on her own.
She was freefalling.
She kept her wings tucked tight
against her body,
feeling the blood and the thrill
rushing up her head
as she fell faster and faster.
He called out.
And in that precise moment
where she almost hit the ground,
she spread out her wings
and flapped it against the wind,
brushing the feathers underneath.
And finally, she was flying.
He too flapped his wings harder,
as if trying to give her a round of applause.
He waited till she gets steady,
and when she did,
he gave out his final call of farewell,
and she too of her gratitude.
And as the sun set, he flew straight
to where the sun slowly disappeared,
while she headed straight to where
she will meet the sunrise.
It's ok, it's ok
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
