Water Fowl

Stand Tall
Stand High upon your perch
Clean and Proud.

Wing span stretched out above the water,
Frigid Wind underneath your wing
Serves to Hold you up.

"Notice Me," I silently cry out.
Carelessly craning his head my way.

Effortlessly, you Decide your Path.
How envious I am of your Freedom,
Your whim and perhaps unbroadcasted Purpose.

Stand Tall
Wing Span revealed,
Lean Forward,
Take Flight.
"Take me with you,
I want to soar just inches
Above the Water,
Across the Bay..."
