They Know Not My Worries

This poem is located on page one of the Noble House, 2007 edition of Centres of Expression.


They know Not My Worries

The birds, they fly above me
They see what I can not see
They appear to be free, for
They know not my worries


To see life as they do
Would be a dream come true
So high they fly into the night
Their mightly wings, soaring in flight


Reaching the almighty depths
Of freedom roar, seeing the ends of
The core of life's moving wind
Whose eyes never shut
Only cutting the ridges of our minds
How sharp the edges as it tears away
At soul's ever lasting triumphs


When will we be able to catch the flying birds
As they escape with our every chance of seeing through
The two eyes that journey on, capturing
All of our thought processes, flying through the
Night, stripping away at the flesh, that can not control
its infinite mind


And thus, soul will never be free,
as the birds they fly above me
They see what I can not see
They appear to be free, for they know not my worries

Hello Kathryn, I enjoy your poem They don't know not my worries. It's interesting for I too wrote about a bird from a different angle. You provided me food for thought. I pray for your continued success.

so cool
like Richard said beautiful notion
nice share
Reviewed by Regis Auffray 4/5/2007
I find the "birds" in this poem particularly symbolic, Kathryn. I agree that "worries" often keep us from being or at least "feeling" free. Thank you for sharing this offering. Welcome to AD. Love and peace,

Regis
Reviewed by richard cederberg 4/5/2007
A beautiful notion - to see and attain the heights of the birds to clarify and enhance our own inadequacies.

In your third stanza, sixth line, you use the word "tares" (which are weedy vetches or a type of weedy annual grass) - I believe that you intended to use "tears" (being forceably pulled apart)

Congratulations on your book of poetry and welcome to Authors Den.

Light and Wisdom ...
