Wild Bird

A Story by Russ

For you beautiful

You flew into my life, you had traveled so far.
Mesmerized me with your plumage and beauty.

I loved when I could make you sing, your song was so pure.
I couldn't get enough of it.

You got comfortable and set up nest
Many winters past, but soon you wanted to fly again.

I was so in love with you, I tried to put you in a cage, even clip your wings
But I soon realized that a wild bird like you needs to be free.
