How it would be to fly far away like a bird in the sky, fly to places new and where no one knows you. It would be nice to be able to run away from our problems, but for most that isn’t possible, we just have to face it and keep movin on.

Fly little bird,

fly to places unheard.

Find your way,

far, far away.

Survive like the wind

beneath your wings,

go to where your heart brings.

If only to be a bird

and fly high up in the sky,

away from all of this,

away from all of those that pry,

and all of those that lie.

An ideal life,

free, like I wanna be.

Where there is only me.

Though, loneliness would set in

after a while,

and I wouldn’t be able

to live the lifestyle.

I could sail a boat

and leave a note,

sailing the ocean far away,

but how long on the water

could I actually stay?

Could I stand it day after day?

Maybe I could take a plane

without anyone knowing my name,

and fly to Italy or Spain,

(or maybe they are the same),

and buy a cottage,

but not speaking the language

I would definitely be alone,

and would probably start to miss home.

Or, I could probably hole up in my room

locking the door and just resume

life as before,

amongst the gloom. 

Maybe my system could be shed

of all of the inner dread,

and then I could

come out to join the living

ready to try again.

Maybe I would.

Fly little bird,

fly to places unheard.

Find your way

far, far, away.

I hope to see you again someday.

    DB…what a wonderful poem – great visual imagery flying free as a bird or travelling to destinations unknown in search of tranquil solitude…I loved this.
    Sorry, couldn’t post a comment of ‘More of That”…I think we could all use a few doses of laughing gas…I just loved how you took me on this wonderful excursion only to plop me into the dentist’s chair…one of my least favourite places in the world…but I’m gradually getting better…Loved that one as well. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent. Sorry again for having to comment on two poems in one space…
