Defined by Flight

Inspired by a photograph

The source of intellect,
Blanketed by a waterfall
And encased in a crown.
Below, her mouth curves into
A content smile,
Her eyes look, wondering, contemplating.
Before her, she holds a creature,
One defined by flight.
She holds it high
As she sits low to the ground.
Her mind wanders,
What if she were defined by flight?
