Notes About The Poem

Neither Shall I

- Reaching beyond the unknown,
                                      touching the possibilities
                                                         of life -

                                  No matter the outcome,
                                     or the circumstance

                  A bird, 
                      never forgets how to spread its wings
                                                            and fly . .

                      

                                       - Neither shall I -

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops... sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars and reach for the heavens and hope for the future and all that we can be, not what we are.... (Eagle and the Hawk by John Denver) Excellent write....

So true, Brandy. Birds never do forget how to fly, unless of course you're a penguin, then you were never taught...lol Lovely poem. Happy New Year dear friend. ~Charlie

Excellent write, Brandy! Reminds me of the Beatles song “Blackbird,” in particular it’s lyric: “Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night...” ~Mark

It's cool if my words remind you of a song, a Beatles song at that. :) Thank you Mark, for your lovely comment and your support. I shall always spread my wings, and fly. ~ Brandy

And the little owl soars high above the land without a care for the turmoil down below. Keep reaching for the stars my friend! John

Thank you John. The words "little owl" tug at my heart. As my Indian friend used to call me this. I feel the wind beneath my wings. You and your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for being here. ~ Brandy

That is what life is all about..for those who believe, as you say Brandy. I like the confident ending: A bird, never forgets how to spread its wings and fly . .Neither shall I.
