The Passage To Flight

 

 

            THE PASSAGE TO FLIGHT

  Every emotion

  is a wing in disguise.

  Anger — a storm wind.

  In its gusts,

  it fuels the courage to act,

  the strength to rise.

  Grief — a silent teacher.

  It folds us inward,

  presses us to the earth,

  makes us kneel.

  In its weight we learn how to bow,

  and how to rise again

  on wings of remembrance.

  Love is already a wing —

  It lifts everything it touches,

  carrying us

  beyond ourselves.

  Fear, when faced,

  sharpens the senses —

  a vigilance that, once softened,

  becomes clarity,

  guiding us toward

  where we must go.

  To feel deeply

  is to find the wings within.

  Moving through feelings

  until they soften into light —

  that is

  the passage to flight.
