She floats through the cloudless sky,
Moved by the breeze as she descends
Imperceptibly gently.

She tumbles through air that caresses her
Like a childhood duvet; like the
Earliest memories of her mother’s hands.
Her wide eyes fill with wonder as though
She were new to the world.

She is beautiful and delicate; her voice is
Like the summer breeze making
Long, Sun bleached grasses sway.

She is a fragile yet powerful
Expression of the glory of life at
Its most unconfined. She will not
Be kept grounded.
