White Bird
Flying gracefully above
the city
A white bird rises
high on a gust of wind
Passing through clouds
Looking down upon the verdant
earth
she heads homeward where
her chicks await her return
The sun again upon her wings
as she passes over land and sea
She is the very soul of freedom
Day morphs into night
But she continues to soar
Peering down upon the land
She espies her nest
This bird is a powerful symbol
Of freedom, of faith, of all
who travel through the open skies
Diving swiftly
She is home once more
