Part 3 - It Don't Come Easy

Solitary Bird  Words inspired by my original sketch "Finding the Courage."
It was just a black bird overlooking a river and valley, with a mountain far across the water.
Reflective of my own life at the time of course, I just expressed what he might be thinking...

Something in me stops here from time to time.
From the outskirts of my own world, I ponder another.

Food is scarce and the wind currents often unbearable,
but there's something calling me to the other side.

I used to test my wings there, sometimes for days,
but for some reason I always came back.

Nowdays I fly the patterns I know, stupidly circling,
defending my territory to the death if necessary.
In all fairness, please don't ask me why.

Is food really that scarce across the river?
Am I still strong enough to survive there?
Does any of that even matter?

Something in me wonders about things from time to time.
