Inside Bird

mundane the tweet of this outside bird
     but i yearn for its voice every day.
         this inside bird yearns to capture

                        the flight,
                      hang onto the bluebird’s wings
                    and fly...fly desperately,
                  breathlessly... until my mind
                grows rapturously tired,
              dreaming still
            of my flight
          for miles and miles ~
        the twenty-fold
      surrender to scent,
    sunshine,
  divinity
sublime

Shape or verse, with the shape you see, with the verse you feel, a double treat . . . : )
