Fly Away but Not too Far

 like a gull or a flock of geese.
 You can soar in the sky like a raven,
 like a heron or a hunting eagle.

 You can calmly sit and wait,
 like an old wise tree.
 
 You are a secret like the night.
 Bright like the day.
 
 Everything about us is different,
 but, together we are the universe;
 Endless.......
