I read the latest post by my friend, Penny at The Why About This, and it created a stir in my mental juices as to what the world is currently facing. I had an image of a bird in my mind. So this poem was inspired by “When Words Overwhelm“
Fly by night
Fly by free
Fly by flower
Fly by tree
Fly by day
Fly by sun
Fly by many
Fly by none
Fly by star
Fly by moon
Fly by sand
Fly by dune
Fly by summer
Fly by glow
Fly by winter
Fly by snow
Fly by country
Fly by state
Fly by anger
Fly by hate
Fly by sirens
Fly by flash
Fly by fallout
Fly by ash
Fly by death
Fly by strife
Fly by everywhere
Looking for life …
