The flight of a bird,

like the leap of a heart

as it skips past a beat.

Soaring through clouds,

like the cold heavy rain

as it ruins your hair.

Diving at life,

like the sun beaming down

as it warms the wet feet.

Floating on air,

like breath in a chill

as it falls in balance.

Darting from fear,

like flames rising fast

as they dance in the dark.

Perching on trees,

like autumnal leaves

as they cling to life.

Falling from grace,

like all that has lived

as it reaches the night.
