NaPoWriMo 2013 (playing catch up) Day 6 ~ Song of the Whippoorwill

It is the whippoorwill

that sings of home

where the night sky

is dancing stars and

wishes whispered

to the moon.

I am miles from the

gravel that dusted my toes

on barefoot summers,

but when I close my eyes

I return to once upon a time.

Blessed bird continue your song

of quieter days and winged dreams.

I want to fly to open fields where concrete

doesn’t scratch against my sleeves.
