The last chick flew the nest today,
Leaving the comfort, security and nurture,
Of all she knew to be true,
Opening wings and trusting flight—
A leap of faith into a brand-new world.

Yesterday, she teetered on the edge,
Reluctant to swap the warmth, the on-tap grub,
The protective shelter of her cosy abode,
For a life of foraging and fending for herself,
In a limitless land of hedgerows, trees and sky.
What does it take to finally fledge,
To heed the call from within and make the leap?
How much courage, strength, trust and love,
Must be coursing through your veins,
To surrender all that is, and take flight?
It’s time to stop wavering on the brink.
Let go of old reasons to be, concepts and patterns,
Summon your spark of divinity, feel the power of your potency,
Open the wings of your potential and take flight,
Into the vast, boundless unknown.
You already have all that it takes,
To make Grace your sole partner in flight,
To salvage the treasure from the deepest parts of your being,
To soar and shine with it from the uppermost heights,
To become the Radiant Love you are.
Comments welcome.
Love!!

” To make Grace your sole partner in flight”. Grace has always been with us; the recognition of it hasn’t. Having it be our sole partner – I like that.
Thanks Chloe.

Thank you, Chloe, for this inspiring contemplation. I’ve been feeling a bit timid lately, about my writing and life, and your poem reminded me that I just need to take His hand and leap into the unknown, and all will be well.
