I feel like

I feel like a bird 

Falling in the layers of the wind 

Down down 

Around 

And up again 

Surrendering to the currents 

As they push and pull and dance 

I feel like a butterfly caught in a gust of wind Unknowing where I will land 

Here for the ride 

Only stopping on a petal 

For a quick bite to eat 

And off again 

I feel like a piece of pollen 

Will it work this time? 

Or will I land in the earth and get buried Only to wait for next season to be discovered again 

Sometimes being dormant 

Underground 

Allows for the depth and strength 

Required to bloom high in the sky 

Reaching high and strong for the sun 

I feel like a leaf 

Unfurling 

To show myself 

Fully in the sun
