The first flight for anything can be scary at first.
The First Flight

When a bird is set free
from his cage
He at first flits in panic
Looking for something to cling to.
Disbelief shadows his wings of freedom.
The new world
Is too brilliant,
The sun too bright
Until the bird sees the branch
Appearing in the blinding light.
He flies to his security
But not for long
- For there is a whole new world
to explore.
