Earth-bound
I dare not question why
blackbirds can rise up
into an iridescent turquoise sky
soaring high above our mortal heads.
Birds have brilliant wings and sing,
while earth-bound you and I
with lead feet heavy on solid ground
can only talk, walk and run.

I tend to keep my mind (and head) on the ground, but I do often think about the view that birds have and we miss.

I think about that too, and how it must feel. Thank you Ken.

We humbly accept our place…and when I see birds struggle against the wind, I’m glad to be on the ground. A stunning quadrille and photo, Linda!

I specially like the color here: iridescent turquoise sky.
I wish I have wings, instead of being earth-bound.

Leonardo looked at the birds and devised flying machines; I just read comic books about flying superheroes. We’re all taken with flight. I love the structure of your poem – just lovely.
