Just Fly Words

see the birds in circled
flight
gliding and drifting with the    wind
this way, that way, way up high together 

high     high touching the azure sky
lost inside white puffed up sailing clouds
then, just falling
fall and falling    here they all come

sweep up in a     whirl
soaring in a silent bird ballet
twirl
do a perfect figure eight
around     around again
who is the leader and who is the follower

and like the birds in circled flight at dawn
my words fly up into the sky on wings (of love)
glide with the wind
then, do come back onto my    page
not quite finished words

with you
so    so impatient you are to fly wild
I will try to gather you up
anchor you if I must
oh, do stay still . . .

now-  my dears I am done with     you    
time to see you fly
gliding and drifting with the     wind
way up high
touch the azure sky (fall and fall)
whirl and twirl again    again
you will figure it out
yes, in circled flight spread your wings    just

fly  . . .  words.

James Inman Date: 6/3/2018 6:08:00 AM Ah, the wonder of your words fly like the spectacle that are those beautiful birds. When I was young millions of Red Winged Black Birds would stretch for miles as far as you could see across the sky. I have seen thousands of vultures swirling like a tornado in the air, flocks of squawking parrots, soaring swallow tailed kites, mating Bald Eagles dancing in the sky in front of me and single pairs of Sand Hill Cranes quietly flying overhead, all of them amazing and mesmerizing.
