On the Wing

Like a wraith in the wood
Like a bird on the wing
I traverse the forest
That seems to sing

Like a fish to water
Like a monkey to tree
This is where I belong
The forest, and me

Like a bird to the air
Swooping on wing
I lie down in the forest
Happy as a king

For the forest and I
Are like birds of a feather
Myself and the forest
Always will flock together.
On The Wing
Well, I had to make a powerful sounding poem for the poetry unit we did, and VOILA! Something that sounded good.
