To Soar Poem by Reva Kern

Not being like
a bird with wings
I still
Circle in the sky
My body moves
With my heart
Flying over the sea
Crossing over high mountains
Passing through the night
My eyes are radiant
Oh, to fly!
White clouds are my companions
Blue skies let me soar
Oh, to fly!
No matter the great changes
That happened in past years
My thoughts are brimming
Full of longing -
The person I love
Just now summons me
From a distant place.
