I’ll break the iron 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 you 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 This was read by a dear friend of mine and it was misinterpreted. So just to clarify things now, this was a poem writen to a friend, from a friend. A poem about a friend lending a helping hand... or in this case wing!  |

Irie~ What better image than one strong 'bird' helping another. Friendship helps us soar. Well said, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sheri, this is a beautiful poem... and one should never have to disclose the meaning behind their poetry (my opinion anyway). I loved it. We could all use a little help now and again. Here's to "true" friendship. Michael |

Marge....Friendship indeed helps us soar! Especailly when you have friends that inspire you. Netswan....I guess it is a poem about love... a love for life. I'm always there to help when I can. Michael....Thank you so much for your kind words. I think true friendship is hard to find these days, but I seem to be finding a lot of friends here at Passions.  Thank you all for your comments ~Sheri |
