break away stubborn bird

i hope your southern flight is rewarding

comforting, bordering heaven

arena of plumes, pink fire

graceful in the very depths of simplicity

sigh of my sigh, vapors on the glass

(tear-stained-glass)

sayonara today-forever

just as the flamingo dazzles and displays

my every weakness

blinding with beauty

you do as well

glamorous

even more in your own eyes

i stare out through the years

the windows ofthis soul now cracked

the rain seeps in

feathers on the sill

scattered and tossed by restless wind

your wings/my prayers

separate through your escape

go join your V formation

I know where you are going

off to a new-found love

sayonara today-forever

Toddles~
     This is sad, yet beautiful at the same time.  Isn't it amazing how poetry can allow you to feel all these wonderful emotions at once?  Thank you for sharing this one.  I love it!
