POTD: 8/20/23

I came across a baby bird And I wondered of its flight A life had just begun with a rough starting plight Along came a gust of wind as if blown by the sea But it's a mountain top high For this baby bird with me It was then, our dreams were born as we both began to fly Carried by currents of faith Touching clouds in the sky The sun set upon our shoulders drying raindrops on each wing The horizon burst with colors just in time, for us to sing The melody traveled far across the valley below Reaching souls, a song is found Always closer than you know

What a pretty, peaceful poem. I enjoy poems that I can see as I read, Your is just that kind. I used to live by the ocean and I miss it and it's smell. One of my favorite stanza of yours reads : "The horizon bursts with colors just in time, for us to sing" I lived in Vermont for a while too, and of course your 4th stanza says it all for me. Your poem brought back nice memories. :)

Dear Heidi, because of faith, you were able to fly. Such a wonderful reason, indeed. Your words bring a smile and lift my heart. I can feel the wing beneath my wings too, as the melody reaches beyond the clouds. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
