Buoyant    unselfish
battling trauma
almost driven to extinction by DDT
but saved in the nick of time
Impassioned to soar    climb     plunge-dive
                                                            to choose
                                                            to love
                                                            to hate
 
He climbs
wings touching the Divine
then plummets toward the water
                                                    shattering the dark surface
