Poem "...or let me go"

I am a bird of passage

a flash of black and white

the breeze you feel is me

passing you by, for my limitless horizon

hold on to me

and I will wilter,

longing for the open space

let me go,

and I will make full circle

returning, complete, to you

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
