Tiny birds

[hester_prynne]

Envy has no justice
like money has no power.
Tiny birds
flying in big skies
make my heart swell.
Despite my hardhat
that hides this beating fervor,
hellbent to conquer
what isn't.

Money has no justice,
like envy has no power.
Tiny birds
flying in big skies
make my heart swell.
Don't know if they'll make it
to mighty tree
until they do,
and even then,
they remain uncertain
of what is.

we certainly have been on an avian theme here for the past few days
I guess we are a bunch of birdbrains

nice contrast hest
envy, justice, money, power

[saw]

what isn't, what is...like tiny black specks against a vast blue sky....
nice contrasts between the stanzas, as one fights to stay in control
of what can only be imagined....good work...

Hi Hester and Hi to all your tiny birds too!

I read reread this and found it fascinating. I love birds and the sentiments you express.

sometimes i feel like a tiny bird flying in a big sky
and sometimes like a big bird flying in a tiny sky
and sometimes i don't feel like a bird at all...

enjoyed the wordplay, hester
