Poem Commentary

This is the second poem (true poem) that I ever wrote. This poem dates to 1983/84, when I was only 18 or 19 years old. I have always been amazed at the maturity of this poem, coming from a boy like me, at such a young age. Though I was in the military, I had not experienced war; although I'd been in love, I'd yet to experience its full joy; and although I had flown before, I had yet to truly enjoy the freedom from flying (or falling freely). I still enjoy the sight of birds in flight, and, although I have found it in a savior, I still long for the relationship of true love (on a personal level).

Birds in Flight

Birds in flight,
they're such a magnificent sight,

birds fly through the ceiling,
their freedom is so appealing.

 

So subtle and beautiful they look,
birds remind me of a brook,

free from TV, war, and the pill,
birds are luckier still.

 

Birds can see farther than the human eye,
they just flap their wings and fly,

soaring is all they care to do,
whether the sky is gray or blue.

 

I dream of the day I will be in flight (love),
I think about that awesome sight (dove).

This is a VERY good poem. Amazing that you wrote this way back in the early 80's. You know, I love "antiques" :)

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
