High.

High above in the noon day sky
a lone bird glides, as two more fly.
I envy them, their freedom grand
to soar, to fly, above the land.

I close my eyes and meditate,
my body slows, with my heart rate.
My mind takes flight to soar on high
with those three birds in the noon day sky.

Released from body, spirit free
to travel awhile in Infinity,
like a little bird on a story book page
it must return to its mortal cage.

A taste of freedom it has found,
it connects again to firm ground.
Joyous to have, for a time, been free
when time stood still to accommodate me.

Lovely in its message, mesmerizing in its rhythm and meter, it like the bird carried me on its wings to lovty hights. The flow of this poem is its heart and it reads as smooth as greased glass. The message too was calming and full of hope. So well written my friend

The poet takes a flying trip in the imagination with three birds. Watching their airborne frolicking, she experiences the experiences of a bird in flight. Connected again to the ground, she appreciates the birds" capabilities all the more.

Beautiful poem, it revolves around the contrast between the freedom experienced by birds in flight and the limitations of the human experience.

Language used is quite evocative and reflective, very nice... The contrasts between the physical and the spiritual are highlighted through phrases like "mortal cage" and "spirit free."

Nice rhymes to, AABB scheme used and made this poem flow quite harmonious.,

Thanks for sharing,
-Amy

I have a tendency to just stare and watch the red-tailed hawks here as they slowly circle and can really identify with this. ~Jim
