ground or sky

ground or sky 

will my feet find
firm ground
barefoot in the soil,
somewhere to land?
or will I sprout wings,
flutter and train
on the edge of the nest,
finally learning to fly— 
I’d rather flutter, flit
soar and glide 
or hover
like a hummingbird
it’s the sweep,
the long view I crave
especially today
