Natural Flight
Fly like a joyful swift,
Darting across the sky,
Swooping through low-lying clouds,
Landing as night draws nigh.
Fly like a butterfly,
Flitting around the flowers,
Scenting their precious perfumes,
Dancing in summer showers.
Fly like a beautiful bat,
Flapping your leathery wings,
Casting silhouettes on the silver moon,
Listening as nature sings.
Darting across the sky,
Swooping through low-lying clouds,
Landing as night draws nigh.
Fly like a butterfly,
Flitting around the flowers,
Scenting their precious perfumes,
Dancing in summer showers.
Fly like a beautiful bat,
Flapping your leathery wings,
Casting silhouettes on the silver moon,
Listening as nature sings.
