I disagree that this poet is at a loss. A bird leaving its nest, time to fly or dive, and find its purpose. most people think when you take flight you already know your purpose, know where youre going, but its simply not true. you take flight in search, finding out where you belong. whether it be a poet, a guitar player or (using a birds song) a singer, thats just things to find out in life. this is probably senseless drivel and im overanalyzing into something of which you had no intenton (as i tend to do) but i see this as a look at life itself, and where one might find her place to fit in. that being said, untuck those beautiful wings and fly as high as you can reach. theres something up there for you and its just waiting for you. even if i am completely wrong on the meaning within this, its still beautifully done, which doesnt need to be said, since it was written by you.

When I wrote it, it ended up being me saying I had no idea where I was going or how to get there, but it was time to "spread my wings" and start on my way. Thank you for the beautiful review and kind words, it means the world coming from my favorite writer and friend. xo

Wonderful, just wonderful. What sounds, at first glance, to be a dark or depressing poem is actually quite upbeat and inspirational.
I don't know if it was intended this way, but to me, it has two meanings. On one hand, you could be talking about a poet who has literally never written any poetry, and they finally decide to start writing. On the other hand, you could be talking about a poet like myself -- someone who has been writing for a long time, but has never shared their poetry with anyone (thus, it appears to the world that they never write), and they finally decide that it is time to fly -- to take their writing, embrace it, show it to the world, and say "This is me".

I wasn't exactly sure where I was going with this poem when I wrote it, it kind of just came to be what it is on its own. I really enjoyed seeing your view on it, I agree that it could definitely work that way. Thank you again for taking the time to read and review my work, it means a lot, and your reviews have been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate it greatly. Thank you.
Lovely. The imagery set forth by this poem is amazing and it speaks a lot of the person who wrote it. Truly we all must find purpose in this world, otherwise we are simply hollow shells, wasting the reasons for our existence. But at some point in time, we have to make the "decision" to fly. I love this piece. As always, keep up the great work and I'll be reading it with joy. Thank you again. ^^

I like the title. They come with practice and experience of personal choice. This was the best thing I've read of yours so far. Very bright questions posed.

Thank you, it means a lot coming from such a great writer.
"It's funny how our past frames us; how the person we used to be never lets loose of the person we are. Past failures and disappointments, even victories take hold of us. They haunt us like ghosts, or.. more..
