Birds Back v1
This is one in a pair of installments I did, diptych style, based on a few simple birds flying. The other one is found just ahead: http://secretvespers.com/2009/01/07/birds-back-v2/
Have you ever gone away, only to realize you needed to go back?
Transcriptorial: I only left so I would need / to come back to you
yeah.
‘nuf said.
Neat, this is happening to me right now. I put the biggest obstacle I could find between us – the atlantic ocean – and it wasn’t enough.
Sometimes I wish the world were bigger, a lot bigger, enough that our fastest jets still took a week to cross our oceans, and we had bigger obstacles to overcome. What we chose to leave would be far away, and if we chose to return the return would be epic.
No. I went away to save my soul alive.
I will never return there.
I am now flying free.
Soaring.
The sky’s the limit.
