My spirit soars, floating aloft on the cool breeze
Ruffled feathers don’t bother me
They inform my intuition
They catch the wind and guide me home
They puff me up and help me stand in my power
Telling a world full of predators
It would be wise to step aside
This little bird fights back
She has fierce talons and a beak that clacks
Don’t be fooled by my sweet little titters
And coos
Mess with me and I pity the fool.
My heart beats steady
Full and peaceful
Grounded in the beauty of the love within
The love without, and the love pumping through
It flows in the stream of my blood
Feeding my cells, igniting my soul
And fueling my passions
The hot steady burn of embers
Internally ablaze and glowing a warning
That if stoked they will flare and clear all
Obstacles from my path.
