The sky’s companion.
Flocks fly effortlessly on faded skies.
Uniting with weightless air,
soft wings and structures stall gravity.
Steady, rhythmic beating of wings and heart,
Nature’s phenomenon

I have a pet bird, I live in an area surrounded by birds. I enjoy both their physical presence and melodies along with their symbolic and metaphorical meaning.

I have birds too (three parakeets) so I totally know how you feel :) I like how this poem was short but still meaningful. If I could make a suggestion for improvement: either take off the punctuation at the ends of the lines or use fewer periods. The first two lines seem choppy because of the periods. Other than that, nice job.
