"the wind beneath my wings"
a short 10-line poem in free verse, inspired by Bette Midler's song of the same title

This item requires reviews with ratings.

always accidental
humility reaches out, touching
curious hearts desiring
sensational impressions
twittering impatiently
fledglings take wing awkwardly
fall earthbound... a sudden gust
immaterial hand of destiny
retains their life, this time
a high trilling note caps this lesson
