I’ll break the iron < !signature-->With the strength of my beak Let me take you To this place that you seek Come with me Caged bird that sings I am your Eagle Come ride on my wings I’ll open my wings And carry you high I’ll show you the beauty Up here from the sky Your majestic dreams In my talons clutched tight I won’t let go Until your feathers take flight Towards the sun Surfing its warm rays Riding the wind Like the oceans serene waves Spread your wings Show your feathers of fire Hover for a moment Before you feed this desire You have the strength Now be off of my wing Fly by my side And together we’ll sing Soaring high In the peaceful breeze Over silent beauty And blue tranquil seas Dancing free In this wide open space Feathers flowing As you glide with such grace No longer caged And released from my wing Bid your farewell And let Freedom Ring ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 07-07-2000).] |

Thank you both so much! I guess I should have stated that this poem was inspired by a poem Danny Holloway posted a while back called "The song a caged bird sings" It all makes so much more sense after reading his! Thanks again to both of you!  ~Sheri |

Sheri... this is such a divine poem, I actually now feel a like a bird, being free in the firmament... - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
