Birds Swim and Fish Fly - ORIGINAL POEM

The sky is blue and birds swim through clouds made of sea foam,

Fish fly with wings made of scales and fins,

Dogs and cats and every animal in between, a world full of opposites and I’m right at home,

A odd world indeed, Alice saw the strange and wonderful as I do in all living things,

I don’t know if I’m grounded or if I’m floating, swimming to join the fish and birds,

But life is cruel, yet a beautiful mystery upon which I struggle to find the words,

And now as I dive into absurdity feet first, I wondered why I never did so before,

I am free, my mind liberated, as the words flow unlike they previously had, now so much more.
