FREEDOM

Caged Bird
Spirit in the body
Crying, struggling
To be free
As days speed into months
Weeks into months
Months into years
Until a lifetime is made
The body wearies and sags
Losing all beauty and vitality
Time has taken its toll
The moment arrives. When
The body gives up the spirit
In a life ending separation
The spirit flies back to you
It's creator
Into Paradise of freedom
A sweet release from pain!
