Just for a change of scenery
Yet a deeper cause compels me now
That extraordinary bird for sale on Main Street

Who clipped your beautiful wings
And stifled your morning song
Who forged this steel prison
The one you claim as your home

Such questions dance across my mind
During our weekly encounters
Grateful for the occasional chirp and curious tilt of your head
I strive to make the most of our time together

Yet I’m aware of my lack of sufficient funds
The means to set you free
Though my heart breaks and yearns for you
I acknowledge that your liberation, your destiny lies beyond me

Thus I leave you in the Owner’s care
Having a word with Him before I go
Astonished am I to find out
That long ago he unlocked the cage door
In order that you should fly freely, joyfully once again

So fly, fly you precious creature
May you soar to the highest heights
Basking in the sunlit sky
And I’ll watch you from afar
Giving God the praise with grateful and admiring eyes [comments] => 5 [counter] => 121 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Deidra_Carmichael [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems ) Your Poetry Dot Com - The Bird On Main Street

I’ve been strolling along these streets
Just for a change of scenery
Yet a deeper cause compels me now
That extraordinary bird for sale on Main Street

Who clipped your beautiful wings
And stifled your morning song
Who forged this steel prison
The one you claim as your home

Such questions dance across my mind
During our weekly encounters
Grateful for the occasional chirp and curious tilt of your head
I strive to make the most of our time together

Yet I’m aware of my lack of sufficient funds
The means to set you free
Though my heart breaks and yearns for you
I acknowledge that your liberation, your destiny lies beyond me

Thus I leave you in the Owner’s care
Having a word with Him before I go
Astonished am I to find out
That long ago he unlocked the cage door
In order that you should fly freely, joyfully once again

So fly, fly you precious creature
May you soar to the highest heights
Basking in the sunlit sky
And I’ll watch you from afar
Giving God the praise with grateful and admiring eyes
