Skies Expanse

The bird flies with wings spread wide
Soaring with wind currents side to side
Clear in the open blue skies expanse
In a beautiful sight of freedom’s dance
Swaying back and forth above in the air
In a kind of release to watch and stare
If only we could take such graceful steps
Through days we move, not leaps to be leapt
Without obstacles, just freedom that ensues
I watch, I ponder, while I walk, I wonder
About all the things that are out of reach
While nature’s life continues to teach
