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
