Wings

Wings of steel and iron
Fold gently in the wind
Cut through strong gusts
With precision and grace
While unfamiliar terrain
     Unfolds below
Grassy meadows and plains
Peaks and valleys--
Sometimes high; sometimes low.
But constant and unchanging
Under the wind's forceful slap,
Strong and unaffected
These wings stay a loft
A question unanswered
But this  bird still flies.
