My nest sits high in the highest tree.
I drop off the edge to gain speed
as I open my great wings
to gulp up the air's liquid strength.
FLAP FLAP FLAP
I climb above the trees and crows.
FLAP FLAP FLAP
I flow over field and stream.
Below I spot a brother, a hawk,
above a wisp of dust on the ground.
An updraft!
I don't have to find my own today.
I stretch out my wings
and soar in his direction.
Now there, I lift my right trailing wing feathers
ever so slightly
and roll right into a great circle.
Around and around and around
the shaft of wind carries me
UP UP UP.
What a great summer day!
