Set the Bird Free
Set the Bird Free
It wasn’t as if you had no song to sing to me
In fact, you sang it and it was quite lovely
And it wasn’t as if I had you in a cage
Yet there was something that made you try to stay and sing for me still
Oh, but it was evident from the start that it was partly against your will
So as much as your presence means to me
It is true that a free spirit must always fly carefree
Go now, see more of the world solely from your own view
Maybe you will not soon forget me when you do
You want to experience it all on your own terms
It is, after all, all we really want to do

Lovely verse, Shannon. It is true that one must be a free spirit. If the love is meant to be, the free spirit will find that out and come back.
Such a romantic thought, isn’t it? That a free spirit will find it’s way back. Seems a rare thing to me, but still a lovely thought.
Nicely penned Shannon, and yes freedom is important for all life: a lovely expression much enjoyed .
Thank you, Tony. Your comments are much appreciated.
Hello Shannon, A poignant expression of letting go. I enjoyed the metaphor of the caged bird. We all have to stretch our wings in freedom to find ourselves and appreciate the beauty of life. Well done.
Best,
Mel
