The Birds

Birds are free 
They fly free
On the wind
Flowing free
Upon the winds
And wings of
Change as they
Soar in the sky
We can soar 
Like a bird 
In the sky
We can be 
Like the birds
Floating so free
Floating in the
Sky as our souls
Reach newer heights
Reaching newer 
Truths in our selves
And living with
Love and light
Flying free 
Upon the wind
Of change and time

Wonderful write, I love how you viewed the birds and the feelings. Love this part:
"We can soar
Like a bird
In the sky
We can be
Like the birds
Floating so free
Floating in the
Sky as our souls
Reach newer heights
Reaching newer
Truths in our selves"

I find a lot of inspiration from our mother earth.

Being free like a bird.. It's a wonderful thought to be had. And I think with some help more people could fly with the birds. To be fully free with them

[Elizabeth Marie O'neil-..]

Who doesn't think about flying at some point? I have, on several occasions.
I don't think there is a clearer picture to paint. Flying is freedom.
I translated this as, "Your soul is free."

[Ahmad Cox]

Very true, I am glad you could get the deeper meaning

Ilove this simple and yet beautiful poem.
It is true that a bird flying ( in our human minds ) represents total freedom.
I believe that all humans, at one point, wish they can fly like birds, whether out of curiosity or just a fantasy to escape society's ills.

I love the refrain ( repetition of the same words or phrases ) throughout the poem.

WELL DONE

I am glad you liked this one as well.

It is when we can fly as this that we become ever free from that which weighs us down and keeps us trapped on the ground of pain, and sorrow! Your words are "free" and wonderful! Yes! Let our souls reach newer heights!!

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep. We have to ride the winds of change together if we all truly want to be free.

[Felicity's Eve]

Such a lovely concept. And comparing ourselves to birds was clever. :)

*sigh* I miss the birds. I look out the window and expect to find them, but no.

Winter is too still for my liking...

[Ahmad Cox]

Yeah I see you as a bird as well.

[Felicity's Eve]

Haha thanks:)

Yes, freedom is within the reach of all of us. And to fly like a bird riding the winds and following the seasons is a very good way to be free. Good job Ahmad!

[Ahmad Cox]

I am glad you liked it.
