there are birds that line the shore.

they wait for me every morning.

i throw them bread

and laugh as they scramble

to find a piece of their own.

i watch as the gray and white

of their feathers mold into

a beautiful picture of gloom.

and when they fly away

i watch the sky

and how they sink into the clouds.

and i catch myself wishing

that somehow,

i could spread my wings

and follow them

all the way to you.
