Poetry In Motion: All Birds Leave Home

All birds leave home

Their time to fly is alone

Why should I leave this safe nest she inquires?

How will I know what transpires?

As she flaps her wings to take that leap

She glances out at the great wide deep

Where shall I go when the storms darken the day?

Where shall I go when the fog hides the way?

Alas, she leaps, and soars!

The sky is yours!

She flies all day

Letting the sun lead the way

As dawn nears its horizon a menacing cloud grows

She searches for shelter until something shows

A house down below has a nest

Placed on a porch she settles in to rest

How kind these friends are

To offer shelter for those afar

She falls fast asleep

And shortly wakes with a leap

The storm has calmed, the fog is thick

And a distressed sound from afar makes her act quick

Mr.Kind has lost his way

His headlights won’t work today

She flies to Mr Kind and says don’t worry

I know it may be blurry

I can lead the way and fly

Follow me from up high

So Mr Kind made his way home

Grateful to not be alone

You see all birds must leave home

And their time to fly is alone

But friends come from all places

And it’s wonderful to see their faces
