Belong
I am a bird
Stretching wings
Far and free
Trusting the God of love to carry me
I belong to the sky
I am learning to fly
I am a bird
Without a song
Listening for the hope of His voice
Without him
I don’t know my name
I am a bird
broken branches, an empty nest
Trusting the promise of his call
His hand in grace when I fall
I belong to the sky
It’s time to fly
I am a bird
Dazzling in flight
Untethered , free
I am the feathered glory of the one who created me
I am a bird remembering my song
Learning
and re-learning
The promise of a soul secure melody
Teach me the words
Again and again
I am a bird
I belong to the sky
I am a whisper turned roar
It’s time to soar
An offering to the community at Five Minute Friday. So happy to find its being hosted this week by the lovely Crystal Stine. Did you read her submission? All the good stuff for us writerly dames (yeah, I think I created a word) pursuing our passions in cyberspace and…dancing. Yes, there’s dancing.

Dear Lisha
What a great poem. It almost feels as if I am also a bird and I can soar with you high in the sky, on the wings of God’s love. Thanks, this is beautiful.

Wow. You had me at “I am a bird.” Every word after these leaves me soaring, resting, nesting, in grace and freedom and hope. Thank you, Lisha.
