Why must it be so far out of sight
When choosing to spread wings and take flight
Encaged is the bird that passes each day
Only to have its' feathers cut and thrown away
Uncut is the melody the bird still sings
Even though it has clipped wings

Sometimes it is ourselves who refuse to fly.
Very nice poem.

The last two lines are so true. Good work, Lady Web, and welcome to Passions!

Thanks Prometheus
Under some circumstances its just not the right time to fly. But when the time comes soaring the heavens where there are no limits to heights that one can reach and achieve.

Thanks Elizabeth
I'm sure glad you like it, No one can take away from whats inside (dreams and hopes).

Very true. Now is this descriptive of anything in your life? I sure hope not...

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Marge:
Thanx, I still do have fears of falling.
As does everyone in their early works.
Thanks very much.
