an oldie I found flying around in a notebook



I fly as the crow flies
whenever I can,
bypassing the roadblocks
created by Man.

Go straight to the Heart,
in matters of Love.
Treat others with kindness,
be the Soul of the dove.

At all times stay calm,
be the eye of the storm.
Bend gently in tempest,
be as tassels of corn.

Sometimes it's not easy
to bend with the wind.
But it always feels safer
to me, in the end.

This, I understand...
this?  I try to do...

Find more of your journals, find more
of your life, and leave your fingerprints
here.

I'd like to ruffle your feathers more often!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
