The moon sparkling on the waves
I feel the fool of younger souls
Why tonight I have sweaty hands
I 'm far too old to lose control

She knows that I am quite her elder
Time's not relevant together
As we gaze into the fountain
Ripples spread from caged bird's feather

I'd lose her grasp from sweaty hands
That may betray she is the first  
To take my hand or kiss my lips
Or simply free this caged bird's thirst

W.O.W.~
You succeeded in your attempt.
Wonderfully done, my friend.
I like the very idea of knowing
the 'caged' bird has been set free.
Hope to see more of your 'serious' stuff.

Walt-a-roo great job in the serious stuff!
Caged and set free, only way to be!

Nicely done, Walt. This definately is a far cry from your normal style, but still excellently done

Does this mean that you're "outa control" when you're being serious? and "in control" when you're being wayout??.. Either way, it works for you.. Nice job, wow...
