Flight of The Sparrow
Contributor

In my last post I mentioned the last poem that I've written for the yearbook.  Here it is. I also used this poem for one of the school projects that I had to hand in, where we were required to make 'something', such as songs, artwork or a short film that describes our character. Well, you know how a poet responds :) The title for this is 'Flight of the Sparrow'

 

 

Down the meadow by the creek

Where green grass thrives and flowers creep

And the arduous blue river runs deep

Dwells a sparrow who swore an oath

To soar and conquer the azure skies

A feat so audacious from where she lies

 

Where regal swans prance

And nightingale sings

And the hawk glides with all his might

Pray tell, how will the sparrow sustain her flight

To survive the darkness of the night

When the world holds a greater fight?

 

Though unadorned by exotic feathers

And blessed not with innate grace

She is not bound by a gilded cage

With this knowledge

She finds her courage

And implores the heavens

To wait for her arrival

As she flaps her wings

To triumph over her struggles

 

Neither raging storms

Nor blustering winds

Can shatter a pledge

That was firmly sworn

Or a fate that was long ago sealed

And thus, the sparrow continues her flight

To endure the ominous trials hidden in the dark

And rejoice in the blissful light

Ascending past the vast skies

To the heavens beyond

Where the seraphs shall welcome her

With full delight

 

 

PS: The sparrow is still flapping her wings. She is soaring even higher than before.
