A tree and birds

Caring dove

A tree sits still 

wandering 

thinking 

but look at those birds travelling the sky 

moving , searching , being a bird 

doing the normal thing for them 

flying the sky 

 

and then there’s a tree , sitting still 

havnt the ability to fly the sky 

don’t know how to have wings

and if I was a bird not able to fly 

I’d sigh with insecurity 

all this confidence in their wings 

and I’m stuck here 

not understanding how to reach as far as them 

sighing with insecurity 

 

sometimes we can be like that bird who doesn’t always know how to fly 

when other birds can 

sighing because they have confidence to go where they wish 

and we don’t understand how to be 

or how to sometimes even reach that place in life

    Yay! First comment! This one touched something deep, dear friend. You captured so honestly that quiet hurt of watching others soar while feeling rooted, unsure. There’s such vulnerability here—and a truth so many of us carry quietly. Thank you for putting it into words. 🌹👏

      Yes .. sometimes it’s difficult when we feel lacking in confidence and struggling with things ..

      Thanks for the support

        Freedom is not total but restricted by nature and our capabilities. A lovely poem

          Thankyou very much ))
          Yes , sometimes we can feel a bit trapped in life ( when struggling with confidence or feeling like we can’t do certain things .. we then feel sad because we’re missing out )

          Glad you liked my poem

          A sense of feeling restrained while we see others freely roaming around, nicely expressed and written

          • Caring dove

            Thankyou .. I guess it’s that feeling of feeling a little bit trapped

            Thanks ))

              Sitting still and watching nature is a privilege that many do not understand Yellow Rose.

              the confidence to fly, and then soar high in the sky will come if you keep the faith; all the best
