The Little Blue Jay

Today I watched a blue jay in a tree.

I watched him chirp and sway

and then I dreamed about what it was like to fly away, forgetting today

and soaring far away from the pain.

To forget about being a stain

on human existence.

To feel the rain

 on my skin and be okay,

never to run away

 from what brings me life.

To forget the right and wrongs and just to remember why I am alive.

Never to strive

for greatness but just to be.

To be a little Blue Jay in a tree.
