I WISH TO BE A BIRD

I WISH TO BE A BIRD

           

I wish often to have wings

to be free as a bird

to fly somewhere far, far away

that I bathe in the clouds for a long time

before landing in various fields

before I fall so I crash.

 

There are borders to everyone

but not for birds, especially migratory birds.

Wherever the bird wishes and goes

its wings are a symbol of freedom.

And bird feathers long for the flight

so the bird travels the world.

It knows well that on earth

many of them are its danger

that's why it flies and flies.

 

The bird is happy only while flying

either alone or with a flock.

It doesn’t matter if it’s winter or summer

all it cares about is flying.

That's why I would be a bird

that there are no limits for me,

to enjoy freedom, to be high up

that I'm not within reach to those down

who would catch and break me.

 

I dream this often and I forget

that I have no wings, that I'm not a bird,

that I'm an ordinary man nailed to the ground

and that is why I flee to my dreams and

fantasize to my heart's content.

When I finally wake up,

when a new day appears in front of my eyes

I know that I have no wings,

that in my heart I am a traveler

but I need someone else to be my companion.

Latest Poem

In my Room long ago
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see

I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me

The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me

My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep

Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?

I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door

In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone

My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
