Flight of the Pigeon - He catches an upward blast and is cascaded toward the heavens A plume of feathers both grey and blue Soaring high above, riding the draft Elegant and careless like the Valkyrie's flight Sailing onward to certain victory! The drums roll and the trumpets shout Beating to the crest of the aerial knight Streamlined magnificence fit for a king A slave to no one A peasant to all The overpass pigeon takes flight - Andrew Kerklaan Mar 2012 -
