Free as a Bird

Thoughts .....

 

Spirit free …. flying on the wind

Apart from the world …. feeling free

An endless space stretching beyond the moon

A peaceful, gentle mind

Away from fears, worries and hurt

A limbo of gentle respite

A need to shout with expectant ecstasy

… at the delights of unshackled indifference

It will be pulled back….

Within the tortuous wheel of life

But enjoy … delight in the space and freedom

And return …. refreshed and enhanced

To understand… sympathise and to be ….

… to be yourself …….

I am interested that you say these are 'thoughts'. The clarity of them makes me want to float away with your images forever. I realise, as you do, this is not possible and that I need to be brought back to the living world where I can reflect on what you have said - and, yes, carry on living and being myself.
Nice words.

Your thoughts are very similiar to my own. Thanks for sharing. A delightful read.


Great Write.

You've successfully managed to put into words everything I've been feeling. I had absolutely no problem with identifying with every last word in this piece. I'm definitely keeping this masterpiece. It's beautiful!!

Everyone wants to step out, to be someone else for a moment... Sometimes you should be yourself it's refreshing isn't it! Very good!

Beautiful sweet short poem Phil....I would love to be a bird and fly high in the sky on a wonderful warm day, gliding on the warm breezes not a care in the world.......... I think I would come back to earth refreshed as you say... I just love your descriptions, they make me sigh with pleasure at the thought......perhaps it will work if I close my eyes and imagine doing that....thank you for stirring warm wonderful thoughts on this cold and miserable morning...
