CAGELESS.

 

 

Cageless.

 

Unleashed from restraint the falcon lances
through cloud to clear sky.
Hood-free and humanless wide wings tackle
ground-to-air flight.

 

Pinned to state of blindness hungry eyes strain
to reconstruct sight.
Leathered claws, in predator fashion, disdain
gloved hold over wild.

 

Thrown now into freedom\'s space huge eagle
races again to life.
Cast binding shackles mean pinnions wheel
fearless toward light.

 

Tethered captives should glide through ether
with untied delight.
Oh to give every bird speed of cageless-free
dynamic birthright.
