Bird
,,*** BIRD — *** part one
Bird,
Furiously flapping, eager to rise…
Here…Take your flight
Through the warm air
Of my heart,
I catch how
Our sights are
Cast eye to eye —
Yours watch into mine;
And my own keep a busy
Witness of yours
With my intent
To compliment the presence
Of evident light reflecting
In the specks so vibrant-white,
Glistening at the heights
Of those golden irises
In your spirited eyes,
Aiming to soar through the boundless sky;
While I remain here for my drawing out
And setting down feathered lines
About the how and why
It is to know such a bird
As you, pausing in my human hands
For these brief minutes
We own together ~
Bird, ready for your flying on
Through a changeable atmosphere
in Freedom;i
While I, finding a vision in those wings, those eyes,
Feel moved to reach
for Beauty,
