Doubtless

Doubtless
 
This dense nebula
of tiny blackpoll warblers
 
sensing the shortness of light,
ready to lift into flight –
 
surely there are sceptics among them –
 
the one who flies out of formation
there at the ragged edge
 
the one who never leads nor seems to follow
 
the one who tails behind
but rises nonetheless
 
no heavier than a soul
 
and at journey’s end
arrives, doubtless, with the rest.

    Good Evening Jorge,
     
    I was so pleased so see that you finally made it by. Thank you. Did you happen to view the previous entry as well? It sounds as though you may benefit from it.
     
    Take care, my friend. I was begining to wonder how you were and was hoping all was well with you.
     
    Until next time….Keep Smiling.

    Hi Jorge. I loved this poem. Very simple but wonderful. I sometimes feel a lot like that bird, and hope I end up in the same place too. (well, depending on where the rest are going of course.

    Thanks… Your comment rings so true… but there are some things in life that are better left alone… 😉

    Jorge,
    I am now back and do apologize again for the delay in my visits.  It appears that my new schedule will surely take some getting used to.  Though the change is very nice if I might say so.  I think what caught my eye in this poem is "with the rest".  Often times we feel as though we are falling behind the \’normal\’ in life; yet it is only figuratively.  In reality, we are just right.
    Thanks for this poem my friend,
    Kelsey
