I put this poem also into the main Writer's Guild place without thinking too much of it, it was meant being posted in here. If any moderators notice this and think it shouldn't be put a double thread of my poem in both places then please delete the first thread I made for this poem in the main Writer's Guild page and leave this thread I put in the Poetry and Prose place stay in here.


"Free Bird".

Sometimes I feel like a caged bird,
which is kept bound in this place.
A longing to fly free,
but it feels like I am chained here.

This cage may provide for me,
everything I need to survive.
I am well and safe,
yet I yearn for another place.

A place where I can be totally free,
flying amongst mountains and hills.
Admiring the landscapes from beneath,
having abundant joy from within.

Feeling the fresh air coming my way,
which makes me feel alive.
Finding shelter when the rain pours down,
resting there calmly until it's gone.

Breathing in the scents of nature,
which are much stronger sensed in the wild.
Closely observing every season passing by,
counting every memory cherished and sigh.

Drinking water from small riverstreams,
which flows down from snowy mountains during spring.
It is fresh and clean,
no dirt nor pollution seen.

Moving and dancing between the clouds,
having a feeling of majesty over me.
Elegantly moving from the left to the right,
perhaps with a few mistakes in between yet looking bright.

Joyful chirps given towards the sky,
tunes coming from a grateful heart.
Singing in harmony with whole of creation,
all waiting for the final preparation.

Whenever tired I can sit on a branch or in a meadow,
regaining new strenght to continuing my journey of life.
Flying through deep valleys and over deep blue waters,
perhaps also being observed by the watchers.

Oh how I long to be free like this,
being able to spread my wings and fly.
Flying far up in the sky,
where my heavenly King will abide.

I've never found freedom in the (fallen) creation but rather here...
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
(Joh 8:31-32)

That's an interesting way of seeing it, I just read through the lyrics of "on eagles wings", beautiful song, more like a psalm, isn't it? That's very sweet of you to think my poem reminded you of this song. I guess this part:

"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand."

Could be where there is a bit of similiarities with my poem? Anyways, thank you for the compliment! It is very appreciated!
