elegant
dignified
soaring

the feel of power
lifting you through the sky
raising you above
everything
raising you into
greatness

wind rushing through your
wings
feathers adjusting
taking you anywhere
taking you away
from
the world
but not
from

beauty
majesty

just a body
blood coursing through veins
hollow bones
born for this

made for this

made for life

made to fly

You break your lines in odd places, but it's interesting. I like the ending.
