Birds

A topic of jealousy.

Have you ever wished to be free in flight?

Away from the problems and troubles of life

Time to think, without disturbance

Time to feel peaceful and weightless

I've never felt.

Birds, they seem so peaceful,

Without a care in the world!

Theres obstacles and duties,

but life is simpler...

I've never felt.

I've never felt the wind beneath my limbs.

I've never felt a cloud or been close to heaven.

I've never felt God so close...

So near and real!

I've never been able to fly.

So, as envious as this poem may seem...

I'd like to turn it around.

On the other side we can marvel at their beauty.

We can leave them be and

We can dream, can't we?

I am glad I found you.

A refreshing write with no chains or binds to restrict just a dutiful flight in which landing is only by choice, good job

I really like this. I don't know if you intended one, but the lack of a metaphor or any serious deeper meaning was a very welcome change of pace for me.
