Two birds are screaming in the sky.
Hawks or eagles, I can’t see why.
Unsettling, alarming, chills me to the bone,
Like the kettle whistling it’s screeching tone.
Then the owl hoots, the little bird twitters
Soft, soothing sounds to calm out my gitters.
I know everything will be all right,
I can see my surroundings in this light.
But those screams keep taunting my shivers
Remnants of a past, ruffling delicate feathers.
My logic tells me there is no reason to fear what I do,
Yet the eerie feeling remains, soaked in sweat now too.
Clearly an unsettling moment. A metaphorical expression of a deep conflict tempered with comfort. Although the sweat from fear is exuding, the hope for a better life desired, should be illuminating. The struggle to resolve this conflict is not to fear the outcome, but to hope for the future!

Perhaps the unsettling feelings come from a frustration that here we are below, grounded, when what man/woman has wanted since the Beginning of Time, is to fly free like a bird.
Being unencumbered, no strings attached, no wrestling with the weight of our world and having an opportunity to experience what it would be like to be non-human, without all our limitations would be exilerating.
I wonder, if that were true perhaps these Beings are sounding their fears, their release of limitations as they soar above going out of sight.
Rising up out of the ashes.
If we could indeed experience this, just once, would we ever be the same?
