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

Yes it does seem that we were cheated but we were given the brains to make our own. At least somebody was. Very nice Carrie and congratulations. Love, Joyce

Outstandingly beautiful a sketch full of colors and imaginations. After reading this lovely write for a moment I also thought to have wings, so that I may fly high in the sky feeling the freshness of air and the vastness of earth in its true colors. Great write my friend and thanks for your precious comments on my Blog. It is always a joy to read your poems my friend. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra
