250. Learn To Fly

The birds flew and fluttered fiercely, 

as they engulfed the skies above.

I did not know what it meant to be free,

but within the chaos, I found love.

I forgot what it was like to breathe,

but then I elevated towards the clouds,

and the world fell heavily beneath me.

I no longer stood on solid ground. 

My heart felt tied to this life, 

but my spirit wished to float away.

The higher I went, the more I felt alive,

but then a voice called for me to stay.

Brought back down to earth,

I was given a new kind of insight.

And for what it may be worth,

all I ever had to do was learn to fly.
