A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)
"

writing as i go very rusty written in several minutes

"
the blue bird
the red robin
the kookaburra
the owl
and the seagull
over the  sea

what do they all have in
common
i ask
of you sitting there
alone in your chair

wings
they all have wings
they fly
they are free
just like you and me

grow me some wings
grow me a spirit of freedom
grow me a sense of purpose
to follow my dreams
to fly over the ocean
and up the mountains too
to soar through the valleys
and beyond to grey and blue

give me some courage
give me some spring some spite
in my step
grow me some wings
i asked to heaven i just cried

He said
havent you seen them yet?
you have to learn how to fly
learn how to stride
leave the world  and all the
passers by
they are there on your chair
wrap them in your heart
strap them on with strength
and then you and them
will  never part
the blue bird just sat there
gazing through
my window glass
with the sun behind
him
he looked like heavens messenger
i sat there and forever
will wonder
with my hand in my pocket
my head in my heart
all mixed up
not sure where to really start
He flew away
as I closed my eyes and prayed
hopefully that blue bird
will visit me
anon another day

and show me
my wings
hes an expert you see
he knows a thing or two
of the wide blue yonder yue
