Birds in Flight

Some see the shadows,

Others see the light,

Some notice cardinals

In mid flight.

Some don't believe,

While others fear profusely.

Some fall in love,

But I won't let them seduce me.

For yes, I believe!

For I see them, too!

Whatever you may call them,

I know it to be true.

My loved ones in the birds,

My fears lurking in the dark;

My friends in leaves,

Strangers in the park.

Lost souls wandering,

Dreams taking flight;

I pray that I will be safe,

Sleeping in the night.
