We had such great hiding places.
Young scavengers on the run or were we simply biding time?
Adventure beckoned like some lost treasure left buried only for us to find.
Today, I came upon the body of a downed now brittle bird.
It had known amazing heights during its brief and borrowed time.
It reminded me of my youth.
How it had died with the idea of flight still in its eye.
