Carrie Richards Poet Sonnet

Wings To Fly

My soul is eager to return again                         
And climb the steep trail where stones fall free                     ~
Among the small robins that drink the rain
And the sweet meadowlarks that sing for me
                                                                                                             
I follow the path overlooking the hills
My heart feels envy as falcons hover                                        ~                  ~
A startled heron causes my eyes to thrill
I watch silver wings break free from cover                                          ~

How brilliantly fly glittered wings of wonder                
If only I too, could circle the earth!
To behold the world from the sky, and ponder
Why not each creature have wings at birth?

Free earth’s bondage into luminous air?
With daydreamers flight, I am almost there
