As the Buzzard Flies

Another episode of out on the porch: It is cold out here That is compared to the heat Of mid-summer forward One lone buzzard Glides on the air current Wonder if he is a scout Searching for food Maybe a young bird Wanting to be free Or maybe an old bird Wanting to spread his wings And float on freedom air Soar to new heights Experience new love Or doing exactly what he wants When he wants He's gone _short lived flight A crow joined him briefly I guess he didn't want an old crow Cawing and interrupting his new found freedom So like life__ old buzzards Wanting to fly free without an old crow along Wonder how long it will take for them to realize That they have ignored the best that life has to offer

Dear Sara: Wow, what a cool poem. It is amusing how you compare the companionship of the birds, with that which transpires sometimes with people. Thank you 4 reading and commenting on my poem. Peace: Sheol

If the birds have the feeling, they would have expressed as you do, Sara
