Take Flight

Remind me of the path.
The one less traveled.
Lead me on a merry way.
Take me upon an endless flight.

There is this way and that.
Pay no mind to which.
Toss a coin; leave it to chance.
Our destination is still unforeseen.

Nothing to constrain us.
No worries to bother us.
No worldly care to weigh us down.
Only freedom to be discovered.

Such weightlessness is freeing.
Where this journey goes, none know.
No decisions are predicted.
We'll never be sought nor found.

Watch as my wings spread.
Prepared for flight am I.
The endless migration to come.
Where my feet may land; who knows.

Finding salvation through liberty.
One can finally take a breath.
No walls to cage this bird.
Who's colors have yet to be seen.

When will this journey end?
The question has not been posed.
Yet when it is.
It shall not be answered.

My Peaceful Snow Globe

The flakes dance on their journey.

Floating to earth in cascades.
Settling neatly upon each other.
Forming intrinsic, tidy layers.

The ambience is peaceful.
Quietly birds sing their tune.
Seeking out their daily meal.
A world encompassed in white.

Branches creak quietly.
As the wind softly breezes through.
Gently hushing the birds.
Who take flight again.

A doe stops in her tracks.
Her fawn staying close for warmth.
The soft crunching of snow.
As they seek fodder.

This winter wonderland,
Brings a quiet peace.
Shrouding the landscape.
Covering it in a cold blanket.

The sun reflects off the specks.
The snow glitters and shifts.
Resembling a million diamonds.
Priceless is this scenic view.

Trap me in this snow globe.
I never want to leave.
Let me have peace forever.
Found only in such; Winter.
