Birds In Flight
As I lie in the quiet of night
I close my eyes extra tight.
Clearing my mind of worldly things
waiting to see what my thoughts will bring.
I see myself with the birds as they fly
high up in a clear blue sky.
Seeing the world from up above
a sense of calm fills me with love.
As I look down upon forest of green
admiring the beauty of a wondorous scene.
Fields of gold stretching far as the eye can see,
meadows of wild flowers give pleasure to me.
They`re filled with colours of such vivid hue
I am in awe what next to do?
Soar above the oceans deep,
Oe`r mountain tops with towering peaks.
Fly over lands so far away
watching wild animals as they play.
Breathing the air so sweet and clean
pondering at the wonders I`ve seen.
At night when the stars are shining bright
filling the skies with a heavenly light
a sense of peace is what I feel
Tranquility and a joy surreal.
How I wish for a life so free
filled with love for all to see.
Why can`t mankind embrace such peace
all bitterness and hate cease.
These times are very far away
but they will come someday I pray.
Till then I`ll close my eyes at night
and once more join the birds in flight.
