Free as a Bird

 

I wish I was joyful and free
With open wings to favor my flee

Like a diamond dove in the wild
So strong, with a persona unrivaled

Eternally ceaseless, with a will unleashed 
Flying far and wide to the places I wished

Steering my wings between sunbeams & trees
Graceful and swift, so much at peace

I\'d never look down unto trivials I hate
While I tread on like a bold eagle after bait

Gliding for long hours in the wind & drizzle
Those tiny raindrops on my feathers, they\'d dazzle

Gazing in amazement at the multi-hued rainbow
I\'d slither into panoramic hills capped with snow

I would unfurl amidst the ocean-sky unison
Swerving into the vastness of an absolute horizon

Smelling the scent of mellowed zephyr
Across a sprawling pinnacle, I\'d aimlessly wander

Pretty skies transform from sapphire to golden
And the silvery clouds liberate me as a bullet from the gun

I sigh, I smile at nature\'s zest
Being thankful for a fleeting sight of night\'s best

How I wish I was free
Free as a Bird!
