Poem "Take me as I am..."

I am a bird of passage,
a swallow in flight

higher and higher,
I cut through the clouds,
to the eye of the blazing Sun,

then dive into the storm,
lightning zinging my tail feathers
my heart beating away

Always in flight,
solid ground feels wrong
in movement forward,
leaving the past far, far behind

Free to go wherever I want
Free to stop wherever I want

With every middle landing
somehing is forever lost
something is always gained

My home is unknown
My destination undetermined

What do I want?
What do I need?

Who am I?
Who do I want to be?

Keeping my eyes on the horizon
and my heart in today

I am constantly
in transit, for a soul
