Fly Away and Soar With Me

Morning birds dance on my window
                      happiness is what they know
How to fly away from sorrow
                           telling me, it’s time to go

Though the clouds are low and graying
                     birds know how to rise above
Sun is waiting for the taking
                            I just need a little shove

Morning birds play in my fountain  
                        drinking life so fun and free
They invite the world to follow
                         fly away and soar with me

So I ask myself this question 
                         stay inside or seek the sun
With the birds that grace my window  
                               I know I will be as one

I think you should: Soar through those low flying clouds and let the sunshine embrace your skin. Enjoy the freedom of the wind. This is beautiful in every way, and I am drifting ever so softly through your words. Congratulations Mike, on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy

As I said earlier, Mike, it's "exquisite writing." I'm not at all surprised that it was chosen P.O.T.D. In fact, I'm very happy, considering some of the recent ones! CONGRATULATIONS, my friend.
