Fantasy in Flight

 

I awaken with a question: Where will I discover today's adventure? 

A swish of wings meets me as I walk out the door.  

"Hop on for a ride," a peregrine falcon coaxes.

"Whee," I say as the bird directs me to his back. 

My mind launches into the sky.

I feel elevation and joy as feathers surround me. 

Fledglings entertain with their mock battle.

Feeling renewed with ferocity,
I slip back into my body.
