sitting low in the car
i skim along
over the black ribbon of asphalt
singing
breezing
flying low
enjoying the ride
liberated
in my own realm
exulting in the freedom
of leaving it all behind
just me and the highway
flying low

and overhead
two doves fly
in perfect unison
dipping
diving
climbing
some unlearned
perfectly beautiful
ascetic dance
pure
free
climbing
sun glinting on white wings
flashes of gray
then gone
climbing into the clouds
out of sight
perfect freedom

mesmerized at their ballet
i sigh
and i want
i want to fly
i want to fly high

Anne, this is a beautiful poem.
I love birds. They are so pretty.
They do look as if they are dancing.

beautifully written!

Anne~
This is my first treat of reading you~
So, let me welcome you to our Corner Pub~

'mesmerized at their ballet
i sigh
and i want
i want to fly
i want to fly high'


You summed up the aerial ballet very nicely~
As an avid bird fancier, I've often had the same wish as you~

Thank you for sharing~
