Landing softly on my feet
   After jumping
     Off a cliff
        In the dark
          Claws out
            Behind me

A sparrow turns
Says to me
This I do 
Frequently

Pecking up seed
Nature cared 
To scatter
Just for me

Eyeing another 
Diving so flippantly
Decided to free fall
In her slip stream

A warm blanket of air
Covers over my landing
Softly swiftly
With ease
