Birds

where sea kisses the land
and water mirrors the heavens
winged wonders fly, like miracles

how I wish to follow where they go
to dream without boundaries
to soar high into the ever changing sky

but I am grounded, watching in awe
how perfect yet fragile all around us is
the little things a birds-eye view might miss

we register, but often lack to really see
fail to pause and take in the power of earth’s plenty

walk with me a while and quietly watch
feel the real worth of all around us

realise and accept the simple truth
we are merely a small part of a whole
