The Aviary That Chose to Soar, Poetry of Belief by Avian Osagie Ayemien

In a vast open sky, there was an aviary filled with different kinds of Avians.
Some were strong and bold.Some were quiet and observant.Some could fly higher.Some could sing louder.Some were still learning to spread their wings.
They were different, yet they shared the same sky.
In the early days, each Avian tried to fly alone.The stronger ones flew ahead.The weaker ones struggled behind.Some grew weary.Some doubted themselves.Some questioned whether they truly belonged.
Then one day, an Elder Avian spoke:
“No Avian survives long by flying alone. Even the strongest wings grow tired.”
And so they began to learn from nature.
They discovered that when Avians fly in formation, wind resistance decreases.The one in front breaks the wind.Those behind conserve strength.And when the leader becomes tired, another takes the lead.
No pride.No competition.Only rotation and support.
When one Avian was injured, the flock did not abandon it. Two would descend and remain until it recovered or found safety.
When food was scarce, they did not fight blindly.They communicated.They searched together.They survived together.
When storms came, they did not scatter in fear. They tightened their formation.
And when the skies were clear, they did not only work.They sang.They soared.They celebrated the wind.
Because the Avian Life is not merely about survival.It is about freedom.It is about rhythm.It is about movement.It is about togetherness.
The aviary became strong not because every Avian was powerful, but because no Avian was alone.
And in time, other flocks looked at them and wondered:
“How do they fly so far without breaking?”
The answer was simple:
Wings are individual… but flight is collective.
