Freedom To Fly Free

As I sat alone under a wisdom tree I had special views of life around me. I saw mountain peaks, deepest valleys, and began to wonder where would I rather be. Birds flew freely over me near a kite on a string, soon I decided to be a bird with wings. Faced with a choice of life without you I quickly fled deep into the valley. And I realized how deep it is, then flew my bird-wings on top of mountain peaks only to find how cold it is. Twilight deemed, and soon I became night of darkness till my dream woke me finding you beside me. I wish I had chosen my dream to be a kite on a string so I will always appreciate the freedom to fly free. October 11, 2017 HM: Strand Pick F Contest by Brian Strand

Well penned Vijay, that's a wish I remember making once as a child growing up in India watching a kite fly high and free. If for a day, all dreams could come true. A brilliant write...Maria

Nice to see you write a free verse, this reminds me of a movie called the kite.. It is always better to be a bird my friend, for a kite will get ruined in the rain..

The freedom to fly is everyone's dream! I remember a dream I had when I was a child, I flew over our house and I could see the trees below then I landed in the field, but I could then only jump really far! It was so frustrating, I wanted to fly again! I loved reading your delightful poem this morning! You have presented a grand and amazing piece, such a fabulous write, Great Work!!
