085. A Bluejay

Published on 26 October 2015 at 15:20

It is on days like these

that I am freer than a bluejay,

who soars ever so high;

to and fro, up and above,

and yet, always gliding back down

to rest its wings, as it nests

in the trees, a home of loose twigs

and fell leaves.

It is on the nights that follow

that I may see my reflection

in the full of the moon,

whilst weaving my own reality,

from this golden loom,

as it becomes my destiny.

It is on the mornings after,

that I slowly crawl out of bed,

and take flight yet again.

Soaring through life,

and all it has to offer,

until it nears the end.

As I remember a time,

long ago... where I would sit

upon my very own nest,

to rest my wings before

I took flight once more,

and to find my way to 

the very end of this

golden loom.

Though, now I am in a tangle,

as I twist and turn and fight.

It seems inevitable, 

this lonely life.

As depression is a bird

with shattered wings,

a lonely bluejay.

But it is worth the fight,

to endure a life you so wish

to live, alongside friends,

and family. In reality,

there is no such regret;

aside from that fact that

I, too, wish that

I had truly become...

a bluejay.
