First Flight
i think i know the young herlit's thoughts, when she first dares to try To spread her eager but shaking wings, and prepares herself to fly. Perched on the edge of a mile high cliff, trying with all her might. to look toward heaven and the vast new world, that will be hers with this first flight. The urge to look to the rocks below, becomes more than she can bare. It's a fate she has to face as real, moving closer, yet does she dare? To take that final step beyond, the safety of the ground below. Move one step closer to what she fears most, or a glory she has yet to know. There's a shadow of wings, spread ever so wide, as she reaches up to touch the sky. And leans into the misty morning, not daring to ask herself why. At first she falls, and old fears set in, overwhelming her to her very soul. But a courage wells up from inside her, and quickly takes ahold. And the young herlit suddenly notices, a strength she never knew she had. As her wings open wide in a flurry, she looks down and her heart is glad. Not that she was spared the agony, of the rocks now far below. No, it's a new found pride that she had the courage, to learn what she didn't know. And before that same young herlit, has completed her first flight. The glory is hers forever, Now that she sees Gor from the proper height. See, the lesson here is simple, we could turn from what we do not know. But, as the herlit was meant to soar the heavens, kajirae were meant to soar through our serving and grow. san~kara®FG (in the Urth Month and Year) August, 1998

First Flight

i think i know the young herlit's thoughts,
when she first dares to try
To spread her eager but shaking wings,
and prepares herself to fly.
Perched on the edge of a mile high cliff,
trying with all her might.
to look toward heaven and the vast new world,
that will be hers with this first flight.
The urge to look to the rocks below,
becomes more than she can bare.
It's a fate she has to face as real,
moving closer, yet does she dare?
To take that final step beyond,
the safety of the ground below.
Move one step closer to what she fears most,
or a glory she has yet to know.
There's a shadow of wings, spread ever so wide,
as she reaches up to touch the sky.
And leans into the misty morning,
not daring to ask herself why.
At first she falls, and old fears set in,
overwhelming her to her very soul.
But a courage wells up from inside her,
and quickly takes ahold.
And the young herlit suddenly notices,
a strength she never knew she had.
As her wings open wide in a flurry,
she looks down and her heart is glad.
Not that she was spared the agony, of the rocks now far below.
No, it's a new found pride that she had the courage,
to learn what she didn't know.
And before that same young herlit,
has completed her first flight.
The glory is hers forever,
Now that she sees Gor from the proper height.
See, the lesson here is simple,
we could turn from what we do not know.
But, as the herlit was meant to soar the heavens,
kajirae were meant to soar through our serving and grow.
