Sparrow or eagle
I envy them all
Majestic, regal
They piercingly call

Or chirp joyfully
As they flit through the air
I’ve dreamt that was me
Set free from my care

The dreams of a boy
To be one with the wind
Like a favourite toy
The dream has not dimmed

Yet here I remain
My head rules my heart
Amidst all my pain
This life is my part

The burdens of life
Bind me to this earth
The truth, like a knife
Kills my dream at its birth

What we cannot see
We can still believe
Force reason to flee
Enjoy being naive

Hi again Alison
Thanks for taking the time to comment! This is one of my earlier writings so I personally consider It a little less developed but I'm glad you appreciate it.

To have the dream of freedom, yet be stuck in our rut of life, our path which seems not to change. We all dream of the freedom my friend and finding our way to happiness. I totally enjoyed the read, welcome to PIP, great place here with wonderful people.
