This one is very old, from a couple years ago. One of the first poems I wrote that felt very poetic in it's nature. I also really love the title of this one, it's a good representation of what I like to do with titles. Not all of them are, but most of them are clever like this one or ironic or some kind of word play. My college english teacher liked this a lot and wanted me to try and get it published in the school paper, which it was along with a couple others. Because of that, this one will always be very important to me. I can also look back now and appreciate what I was able to capture in just a handful of lines. Even though I'm extremely proud of the work I do now, I struggle to condense my work into a page, let alone less than a page. But this one stands the test of time for sure. 

Or somewhere where we go when the birds we hope are guiding us Follow a path that’s been created with pure intentions When the birds are calling, find me following where the water goes It flows like running words through my mind If only I could find a way to make the words mimic the birds and fly away sometimes
