Pelican

Out there is the limit

Feintly walk the line

Consequences occur

When feathers fall from the sky

Approach the elegance

A place between near and far

Never cross the line

Never approach the stars

Drift here with the beauty

As a pelican floats over the bay

Close enough to find food

Far enough to fly over waves

The limit is quickest

Run over the hard sand

Wet from water lapping the beach

Dry because it’s land

Say enough to answer a question

Leave more to be unexplained

The limit is control

A boundary of persona, A mind contained

Discipline with elegance

A student of harmony

People search the world for grace

Those who find it flirted with the extremes
