Like a Bird

I wish I could,
Fly for 22 days like a bird!
And rule over the clouds,
Being glad.
I'd see things hidden,
And know the unknown,
I'd find a branch to rest on,
Watching how the cattle are drawn.
I'd circle around the flying kite,
And look at the happy faces
Of the children of light,
And watch over their races.
I'd drink fresh water,
From nearby ponds,
And resume my flight after
A few seconds.
I'd take wing across the seas,
Drawing pleasure in the beauty,
Of the mountains and trees,
Before returning home safely.
