Solitary Flight - A Thought

Source

A teardrop trickled down 
his fragile feathers 
while watching them to fly. 

One by one
 
all the heavenly bodies 
left the nest 
but the fluffy one. 

He too tried to
 spread wings, 
Limped, crumpled, 
tried again 

But those undeveloped muscles
 
weighed him down. 

He understood
 
He has to wait 
As nature wants to embrace his 
Solitary flight.
