As my blades bend the symmetry

of the Earth’s floor,

my mind coasts into a state of harmony.


I see flamboyant color,

as if looking through a kaleidoscope.

Effervescent aroma envelops my beak,

as if flowers had just bloomed.

And I hear birds tweet with bravado,

as if I had never listened before.


The blades are to my psyche

as soil is to bare feet.
