Notes About The Poem

Choice

Fly high like an eagle,
don't be a seagull in the sea,
don't be ashamed to realese your concerns instead to keep them inside.

Let your worries to be known,
give them wings instead to cut them to be free.
Don't make a refuge to yourself, but give a refuge to others to come.

Shout as loud as you can,
don't never accept to be silenced or fly down because somebody will cut your wings.
Make your nest as high as you can, very far from robbers to rob your life.

It's not your choice if you were born an eagle or a seagull.
It's not your choice how long your wings are or how high you can fly. It's your choice how much you want to try to improve the way you want to fly.

My dearest Maria, such a beautiful, inspiring and uplifting poem this is - just like an eagles wings! I love your poetry dear one as it’s always written from your soulful, caring, poetic heart. The inspirational message here is powerful with the use of wonderful metaphors. ‘ Fly high like an eagle’ is something to always remember especially when life gets tough. I also love your message of setting worries free as when they remain inside, they do tie you down and clip your wings.

Dear Maria, A wonderful soaring exploration of breaking free and finding refuge in love. The imagery of eagles and soaring heights beautifully contrasts the "hauntingly smoky haze" and "wintry coldness." The line "It's your choice how much you want to try to improve the way you want to fly" is truly inspiring. I loved the passionate language and fantastical imagery which create a world of yearning and connection. A beautiful testament to the transformative power of love. - Blessings, Daniel
