I gazed upon a single bird gliding amongst the clouds
With wings spread outward majestically; a king within his own domain
I dreamed a moment in distant wonder and pondered about his life
To be so carefree and innocent; soaring so far above the nation
I realized then that we were much the same apart from feather and flesh
We both soar above our concerns; life has been good and there is nothing left to
attain
I know now that the lightness I feel has nothing to do with flying
My heart is full and overflowing; my mind gushes forth with anticipation
I sensed your presence in my sleep but realized that I was wide awake
A vision of unfettered loveliness; Athena herself would grin with pride
I closed my eyes to embrace the thoughts that satiate my very being
Contentment was just a vacant stare; having no substance until you cast your smile
I thank the heavens everyday for giving me riches beyond silver or gold
A chance encounter now charts my course; prudence dictates my feelings I now do
hide
I would gladly cast aside all that is to journey forth and take flight
We are but two birds of a feather; enjoying the seeds of wonderment if only for awhile
