Im free as a bird,
But i cant seem to fly...
Taking off is tiring,
Yet i am still trying...
I am still deciding
If i should take off,
Or if i should stay,
Forever wanting
Forever needing,
Just a little bit more
Than what my soul aches for...
I fed the magpie scraps of bread
stay home
sentinel now perched, outside my house
essential travel only
'tis Spring, nice to get out and about
those swoops and jabs can really hurt
no friends in house
nice to feel the warm sun on skin
wear a spiky hat
only exercise for one hour a day
my dog cringes inside, bird-shy
only buy the basics
love the rain, umbrella helps
jab-shy, got the jab anyway
the dish ran away with the spoon
Sue had a notion
to cross the ocean
She boarded a ship
gave the porter a tip
The air was bracing
her heart was racing --
Her mask she'd forgotten
O, this trip would be rotten
But once out to sea
Sue felt suddenly free
Breathed deep the fresh air
Pulled up a desk chair
She watched dolphins cavort
soaring birds of all sort
Their masks also forgotten
yet no trouble they'd got in
One day I will sail on the breeze like a bird just as pretty as you please.
One day I will be free as a bird from a cage.
One day I will spread my wings and fly away from here.
One day I will hear my Master call from the Heavens come up here.
One day when I hear Jesus I will respond and my soul will leave this old body.
One day I will fly to my Lord to be by his side.
One day when this old life is over and when my journey's done I will fly away.
I will fly like a bird, up through the blue, blue skies passing by every white cloud.
One day I will soar most proud to be with my Lord.
My work will be done, my race I would have run and won so away I will fly world bye bye.

free as a bird as if you already heard,
champions as a monkey studded flunkie
strip back the hall piece shapes for you to carry on in song
nicely page done turn as if you haven't heard
Swiss Miss to words that twist come together with a kiss
tossed as a salad with wings that travel
beats to wing your own
sought after wings to fly hence the page has turned so was the butterfly
yesterday we learn to having a page that would turn hearts to burn
free as a bird fly weekly as on the river Nile,
basketball toward the know it all with words that heal
basketball to the know it all
we have come way too far
the sorrow is ours
crusted chains in the cell block 9
love to be loved like never before
sealed with a kiss sorrow has missed
linger long within a song
*Inspired by the song I have put in here: ‘Free Bird’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd
I am free as a bird
Flying through life to be
On the notes of every song heard
In colorful open skies I see
I am free as a bird
Choosing what it is I do
Capturing sights with written word
I hope to bring to others too
I am free as a bird
Resting calmly in a tree
Cherishing each moment stirred
That waits for you and me
I am free as a bird
There is no distance too far
For what I believe, I am not deterred
Beneath every shining star

"Don't call me. I'll call you."
Not an easy thing to not do.
But it must be your lucky day
cause you've got your way.
When we met I should have known
you weren't really full grown.
In your hand you held my heart
but you wanted another part.
I gave it freely and now you're gone,
gone with the wind you blew in and out on.
Now you're free as the bird that sat in my tree,
free as the bird that flew away from me.
So fly away,
fly away,
fly away free.
You're free as a bird just like me.

Breathing wind
across ocean currents
Waves of a sea murmur
under tides turn over emotions awakening
Satin white washed surf
Beholding
upon the rocks
Beloved apex
a sunbeams brilliance
Wetly kissed
under a rainbow arch
Throwing light
of the moon spotlighting
dancing with the shadows
Crouching where the sun rests
Twilight fires burn amber
within clouds shooting gunbarrel grey
I fly across the sun lite sky,
The wind rushing under my wings,
I never want to land,
because I am as free as a bird,
I fly across the dark night sky,
Searching for food,
I can't see but I don't want to stop,
because I am as free as a bird,
I land in my bed,
Ready for the night sky to fall,
So I can sleep and dream about flying,
because in my dreams I am as,
Free as a bird.
I feel pressed down,
Down into the ground.
Whenever your around.
My movements are opressed,
By the dominance, you rest,
So eagerly, upon my chest.
My steps are hindered,
By the stress.
But I know that I am blessed,
By the worlds tenderness.
I will break free,
Of your subtle tyranny.
My spirit will walk free,
As I turn the key.
I'll listen to the, symphony.
Of my wildest dreams.
