Like A Bird Poem by Sincair Farrell

Like a bird
Not confined by limiting restrictions
On its life
My mind acts as my wings
Which, I use to fly away
From the harsh reality
Which, surrounds me

On a boundless planet
With various species
I travel amongst them
In search of peace
From the cruel nightmares
Flooding the environment
I see

The vision which, I fly to
Are not of the past or present
But of the yet determined future
In which, I desire to live
I travel past the blue cloudy sky
Of the day
To arrive in the star filled
Dark night sky
As the hectic world
Fastly passes me by

I don't know where home is
So I ponder and reflect
On what I've seen
Where I go
Wondering when the sun rises
On a dawn of a new day
Across the planet
Where will I be?
Will I find myself locked in seclusion to be alone?
Or will I find other birds like me?

I often look up at the sky
Like an adventurous care free bird
I aim high
So that I can fly
To where I want to be.
