A Choice
To live life an animal
Must be far less complicated
Than this life as a human.
Next time,
Perhaps I’ll be a bear
So I can sleep through the lonely winter to be reborn
In the innocent spring.
Or maybe a fish.
I will swim all my days
Downstream I shall go.
Could I be a lion?
Proud and powerful
No less noble than you or I.
What about a snake,
Slithering silently
Seeing all but never being seen.
Suppose a dog,
Loyal and loved,
Never hungry or misunderstood.
All these creatures are fine,
Far better than I,
But the answer is obvious.
I would be a bird
And I’d fly away.
