Pegasus Poem by Dawn Huffaker

P awing the earth with impatience, he
E yes the sky with joy and
G reat longing.
A s each moment of contact with the heavy ground
___passes, there is an overwhelming feeling of
S uch isolation and loneliness inside. Suddenly,
___he can wait no more. Wings
U nfurl from his sides and point towards home.
___Feathers ruffle in the speeding wind as his gait
___increases down the silky, sandy shore.
S atisfaction and gratitude are his, when his hooves
___touch the ground no more.
