Wings of steel and iron
Fold gently in the wind
Cut through strong gusts
With precision and grace
While unfamiliar terrain
     Unfolds below
Grassy meadows and plains
Peaks and valleys--
Sometimes high; sometimes low.
But constant and unchanging
Under the wind's forceful slap,
Strong and unaffected
These wings stay a loft
A question unanswered
But this  bird still flies.
