Grounded

When I was little I thought in the wind I could fly,
But now I just listen from inside,
Confined to the house,
Stuck to the ground,
Mourning the flight that I never found.

But what if i choose to rejoice in the sound?
Rejoice in the rush of the leaves falling down,
For though I remain in my crystalline box,
The wind still hums,
The earth never stops.

Good thoughts about being stuck in the house. I heard the doves from inside my home this morning. I thought they are already picking out mates and starting to nest. Congrats on your winner. Sara
