earth and sky

december solstice.

seasons turn.
through bleak-mid-winter storm
she granted him her landfall.  

seasons turn.
earth gifts to sky his freedom. beseeching him
telling him - fly this life.

june solstice.

seasons turn.
born on summer wing 
he flies the coombes and coppiced ways.

seasons turn
sky gifts to earth her freedom. beseeching her
telling her -

fly this life.

The relationship between earth and sky.
Her sanctuary of landfall - his freedom - the sky.
Components perfectly suited -
wishing the same -
each to the other.
