Between the bulrush and cattails
a glimpse of nature's creatures
where did this pair come
from, how far have they traveled
I considered their symbolic meaning
in my own
life
recalling a dream where I once sprouted
wings and flew the heavens un-tethered
a giant hawk
something stirs in the tree nearby, a
red winged blackbird takes flight
sadly, my wings have been clipped
and I'm grounded here when I
want to fly to you
when will covid
be a memory
and
not
a
reality
in a dream last night, I thought of
you and in the morning light you
disappeared....
and I envy the two birds sojourning
together

Such a beautiful and poignant piece. We all want that freedom back, the one where we knew the world was our normal chaotic; I never could have imagined this happening. I'm hoping that we will slowly return to our normal ways where Covid is no longer a reality too, where instead it will be more like a distant dream (nightmare). Beautiful piece with such eloquent phrases. What an excellent stream of consciousness!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done! l loved your flight as an eagle and the envy of the two birds who don't have to worry about wearing masks!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see what people are really thinking about. Lots of birds tonight - I think we are all yearning to fly away at the moment. Very poignant.
ReplyDeleteYou will get to fly again.
ReplyDeleteNice dream!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully done!!💝💝
ReplyDeleteWouldn't we all like to join the birds flying away to somewhere non-pandemic.....only to realize there is no such place! UGH
ReplyDeleteEagles soaring is such an emotion producing visual ... I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteI want to a bird and fly away too. Hope you are well and safe. Keep dreaming and someday, who knows, it may come true.
ReplyDeleteLonging and birds and wings...I hope you are reunited soon.
ReplyDeletein a dream last night, I thought of
ReplyDeleteyou and in the morning light you

There are occasions when our desire is reflected in our dreams which is all very healthy happenings! How has it been with you True. The new normal seems familiar to most people now. Stay safe Ma'am!
