Fledgling eyes

Six fledgling eyes stare
out from willow's feathered shade.
Flying's not safe yet.

Francis,
I can see the tender image, but also sense a danger.

Excellent for so few words!

flying is never safe... just there comes a time when one prefers the joy (or the compelling need?) over the danger... no?

tenderness... yes! this is felt greatly...

@Eileen I think that's the natural balance in a nutshell.

@hb Yes, at some point you have to throw caution and yourself into the wind :).
