Of her life she sings In freedom's glory With graceful sweeps across the sky Feathers upon wings Each tells a story Some make you weep, while others sigh She decries the past When wings had been clipped Made to suffer within a cage A reflection cast Of her spirit stripped The wind buffers a shriek of rage Those bonds are long broke And with skies to roam She seeks to find what should have been Her passion is spoke In search of a home A heart that's kind with love therein Majestic and proud Soaring in the wind In this freedom that she has won Fly high by the cloud Our fine feathered friend May your goals form the horizon |

Lady Hoot: I'm glad you enjoyed and you are most welcome... In turn I thank you for the inspiration, as this is merely my perception of your past, present and hopeful future gathered from your own poetry. I hope I did not step too far. As always, I bow to you and yours. Lady D and Munda: My thanks to you as well. I hope this piece speaks beyond the obvious recipient. |

Sir Andrew...step to far?? By all means no. I was thrilled that my work has spoke to you enought to inspire this beautiful poem. I am flattered to be highlighted in verse by one as talented as yourself. Once again, thank you. |
