My contribution to Totally optional prompts - Birds and bonds
Gliding into the clouds
flapping the wide wings,
Exploring the distant lands
A life so unbound
Roam around the world
Reach for the distant skies
No boundaries, no limits
A life not to belong
Love and care for the nestlings,
snuggling in its cozy nest
A harbinger of growth
A life so worthwhile
Vast blue oceans,
New unknown territories
flying with no measure
Experience meant to treasure.

Freedom well defined! Nice!!
Your poem is very nice - I love this stanza:
"Vast blue oceans,
New unknown territories
flying with no measure
Experience meant to treasure."
But they still come and built a nest. That can't go away.

Thanks everyone!
@Gautami: I came to know of many interesting prompts, thanks to your blog. Reg the nest part, what I meant was that the nest is not permanent or binding. The birds migrate and build new nests.
I guess there's nothing quite so free as a bird in flight.
Yhis is an example of how words can transport us! Excellent!
