The Bird Poem by Audrey Loveland

Give me the life of the bird.
Swallowed in crimson clouds,
And scarlet shrouds.
Breathless, weightless not a sound to be heard.
Bring me the rising dawn
On high above the restless seas.
Wings whip over mists and trees.
Through the night she flies on.
The sun at her front, the blue at her back.
She breaks through morning rays,
Of muted hues and tinted grays.
The colors run in white and black.
Then the rising dawn commence.
And all the colors blossom bright.
Amid her early morning flight.
The patterns tense.
Give me the life of the bird.
Let me soar with the red balloons
And touch the face of moons.
And never return.
Let my wings expand.
Let me kiss the breeze,
Over mother earth with ease.
And all of man.
Above the rain and snow.
I glide the air,
Without a care,
Wherever I go, I go.
