Little bird, little bird, you were there yesterday
in view of my world down here below
but the tree now barren barely can hold
the smallest and most delicate frame.

Do you worry?  No, no, you repeat all your deeds
to gain a perspective not known before
but me, I’m still here in the same manner, mode,
unwilling to see what others believe.

I have, you see, my own special tree
my own way of looking, my very own views,
but I can’t stay there forever, amen,
when the ground rises up to overwhelm.

So I want to be you unbound by the rules
able to go where the wind blows
and free to believe there’s something to see
in the eyes of a lover not yet in view.

There’s a cat in the grass waiting to pounce
should you by chance prefer the green/brown
but beware, beware, hearts shatter and break
when lovers remain in the same manner, mode.

Fly away, fly away, I’ll join you one day
when love rises up to overwhelm
and pulls from the ground an un-evolved “me”
into a world of new perspectives!

By merely thinking and expressing your thoughts in such a captivating way, you already have gained the ability to soar high, dear Helen. There might always be limiting conditions down here where we are earthbound, but our soul nudges us to be aware of who we really are and invites us to dare and take the leap!

You are on your way, beautiful poetess!

Love and hugs.

Up, up, and away! Your spirit flies like the little birdie's! No matter how difficult things may get down here on the ground, you have the power to soar above the "madding crowd"! May your spirit wings keep you aloft and may love rise up to greet you!

Giving you a warm hug of love and understanding,

Linda

I just love the way you write and the lessons you tell in your writing.  Yes, I too want to be like that little bird.  And am learning to be like that little bird!  Nicely done!

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.  

Yes, to be as a bird and fly everywhere without a worry or care must be what is promised when lovers unite somewhere in God's given air.

And I know I didn't think that until writing it but now I do think it so perhaps if there are "lessons" then they're probably meant first for me.
