Masters of Migration – a poem

~

Hey, flying geese!
Masters of migration to the new worlds,
Humble explorers of the unknown lands,
Co-travellers…

~

Tell me,

What are your hearts burning for,
when you decide to take off
and fly away
non-stop
TOGETHER
in search of a new home.

How does it feel
in that moment of trust!
when you shift your weight from your feet to your wings
to jump into the ethereal space between earth and the sky?!

What do you see
flying so high
constantly staring at the horizon?

How do you keep listening to the calling
from the new lands
and sense the direction together?

~

I want to know…

~

When you have your feet on the ground again
don’t forget to capture the story
and share it with others.

~

There might be many more who are longing to know:
How you dream together!
Jump together!
Sense the direction together!
How you maintain your collective heartbeat
and keep flying together!
