To be a bird,
would be unique.
Such freedom of flight.
A feeling of majesty.
I am so soft, so light!
I would have a sky that lasts forever,
I'd never miss a sunrise, sunset, or phase of the moon.
I could savor every season.
Enjoy every shape of cloud.
Sing whenever I was full of emotion.
Trees are never too high to climb, now that I have wings!
Building my nest,
I'd choose the best sticks,
and softest fluff from the milkweed pods.
I think my favorite part would be drinking in the sweet nectar
from every bright and colorful flower,
so many exotic flavors.
I might look the same on the outside, but I would be unique,
on the inside.
It may be a short life, but a great one indeed.
