The Song a Caged Bird Sings Release these wings so I may fly among the eagles high in the sky where the air is clear and big jets roar release these wings so I may soar to those distant places that i long to see easily taken there on wings set free behold the beauty from the flight of wings and hear the music that a free bird sings on feathered wings spread toward heavenly space showing the splender of nature's grace release me now from this prison of wire and behold the majesty of my winged desire sunward i'll climb thru clouds surround to a sea of tranquility where freedom is found I'll chase the wind dance thru halls of air and reveal my form while hovering there upward i'll climb thru an endless blue where only lark and eagle have flew and in the silence of the fading day i'll bid you farewell as i fly away |

A beautiful poem. Spread your wings and "Fly freebird" But be carefully don't be like Icarus and fly too close to the sun. |

This is beautiful, and so sad. It makes me want to open that little barred door! |

Danny~ Exquisitely this one soars. The majestic beauty of the eagle soaring to heights beyond our reach ... taking our hearts and our hopes with him on winged thought. Wonderful, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sincere and consistent ... methinks we all need a dose of flight now and then, if only in moderation ... --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Want to say thanks to all who responded. Especially to Janet Marie and Marge Tindal who write some of the nicest responses in Passions. Think most of you would agree! and, thanks to Butteries for the Mariposa! A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
