Settling

I often wish I were a bird

People ask if you could be animal

A spirit of nature what would you be

I would be a bird an

Eagle a mighty icon of power

I would fly across the lands

Explore the seas and countries

However, birds.

Consider this in thinking

Why do birds stay put 

They have this ability 

To escape and go far off into the world

Yet they do not

They settle

Pause

We are as the birds

The ability to escape and explore

It is just beyond our finger tips 

but we refuse to take the steps

to stretch everyday

stretching our minds and abilities

expanding our thoughts to worlds beyond

by neglecting these steps we fall just short

of reaching this world just beyond our fingers

all it would take is stretching

we could grasp worlds beyond ourselves

but we are as the birds

trapped in routine

living from habit 

rather than intention

stuck right here right now

blind to the abilities we have 

abilities to go beyond

settling for comfortable
