Earthbound,
forever tied to land,
I weep for them
humanity,
to never know
the freedom of the heavens.
Lives beholden only
to that which they
can touch,
can see,
unable to look beyond
the mundane
and simply feel
the wind beneath
their wings.

So Beautiful !!
I loved this!! The idea of birds looking down on us, pitying us because of our lack of wings. A wonderful idea as I know there are humans( myself included) who would love to have their power of flight. A wonderful poem. I wish you all Good Luck in the contest. All best wishes Rose xx

wow, this is beautiful. written from the perspective of a bird and looking at the way we, as humans, are forced to live - cool.
well done and good luck.
(by the way you have one mistake in the 11th line - you've spelt beyond without the y.)
