20. Winged in waiting



Winged in waiting
the moment before flight
while earth grounds the desire
and chains movement to this anchor.

Winged in waiting
the second before freedom
and the buffet of clouds
whispers through feathers
in the soaring.

Winged in waiting
the instant before separation
the liberty of wing-beat
and the hoisting of thermal.

Winged in waiting
the patience of contemplation
and the elusive ecstasy
of the chase.
