Take Flight and Imagine

When I was young and excited to see the world I loved to climb trees all different sizes I would look out far away and wish I could fly I would imagine that I had long wide wings I would spread my arms out steady as I could On top of a tree that was wide enough for my footing Steady as the wind blows, pushing me up to stand As my arms reaches to a T, I could feel the wind Wind passing through my arms and I felt free I would wonder what the birds would feel Once they were pulled up into the sky by the wind Pushing upward to make them feel light as light Make them soar through the air without fear An excitement that never ends and could see far Far from the eyes and beyond the horizon What could the birds feel, when soaring through the air? Finding freedom without endless reaches Never having to stay in one spot of earth, not earth bound Seeking the thrill of the moment and not knowing it Diving and embracing nature as is in the air Not wavering in any storm, sometimes just to ride it out Feeling short of breath when the last wind blows Fluttering as hard to land on a safe place not so chaotic The wind seems more peaceful and full of life Rather than the awkward world beneath the wings Imagine the world with wings and less chaos Free as the wind blows through the grass and meadows What is and shall be the life of being a bird Through and through, humans feel flight is freedom It takes you anywhere, shorter than driving at times If we all had wings, we would be reaching the light What kind of bird or Angel would I become if I had wings
