Wandering Birds

Wandering birds like you and I,
not minding much where they may roam.
They soar so high on a clear blue sky;
They soar through wind and against the storm. 

Like pilgrims on a gloomy day 
that brave the wind and sand of dune,
they soar even when the sky is gray 
while blowing out their fabled tune. 

To the eye of storm, some fly straight 
to break the wind's intensity. 
On cloudless day, they congregate, 
to sing their song of liberty.
