Special Note to Carrie,
It has been a wonderful encounter all these years
Thanks to you Ma'am, to Chrissa and Shay. Had
always looked forward to seeing you all in the
Muse. Will miss all of you dearly! - from Hank
A bird soaring high, and carefree
No cage, no chain can hold its wings
As it spreads them wide and sings
Songs to carry it as it glides by
Nature's instinct as its guide
A symphony of music, its pride
We live our lives too, never to deny
The opportunities that come our way
To soar higher, day by day
With strength, and a hopeful eye
Being free like a bird in the sky
Is a gift to cherish, as we try

First I want to thank you for your sweet words Hank! You have been another wonderful presence at the Muse, and I want to thank you too. I have to say this poem is one of your finest my friend! I love the beautiful message it holds and the rhyme is lovely! Birds do always represent the beauty of freedom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carrie. This poem is one of your best. It sings - and soars. Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteLuv the metaphor of birds in flight. The uncaged soul.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday
Much💖love
