Flyers

from the Brilliance

of a coastline

in the bright

Light of Day

(from a vantage point

far far away)

to a shoreline

obscured in mist

and Mysterious grey

(and the infinite struggle

to simply find

my own Way)

the same Sand

beneath my feet

the same Surf

before my eyes

the same Wind

filling the skies

and my lungs

sending the same

gulls and pelicans

cormorants and herons

aloft and adrift

in their unevenly

balanced formations

and their unconventionally

beautiful incarnations

and their unorthodoxly 

Graceful migrations

and maybe sending

this seemingly unbalanced

and supposedly unconventional

and subversively unorthodox

warbling weary Wanderer

mired in shame

tired of blame

yet in misty

Mysterious realms within

inspired to reclaim

my true identity

(just like theirs)

as fearless Flyer

and creative Conspirer

back into Space

(whether its blue

grey or black)

with the same

innately curious daring

(and un-spurious caring)

as my faithful

feathered fellow Flyers

embracing the elements

embarking into Transcendence

embodying the Brilliance.
