Let Me Go

You have caged me for too long I want you to just let me go, I have to spread these feathered wings I need to feel the wind's blow. You know that I love you truly I said that I would never leave, I want to see the rain's dance Not just sit here and perceive. The scene never changes, day after day I want to go where white roses bloom, I have never seen an ocean's wave And neither have you, I assume. I need to see the autumn tree's change I want to see the snowflake's glisten, I am wishing on the stars as they fall This is my dream, so please just listen. I want to fly in the sky's blue I need to feel the sun's burn, When I have experienced these wonders I promise that I will return.

An entreaty from a soul desperate for a sensitive body, willing to travel with the unpredictable weights of a new world. Your plea is so passionate in naivety, I love it...this poem of anxious spirit reminds me of reincarnation, rebirth from one heart to another Kelly...J.A.B.

A heart seems to reincarnate itself more often that we realize.... Sometimes, I want to hide away in the darkness, and sometimes, I just need to fly free out into the sunshine. And, even though we know what is waiting out there in the world, we still need a little taste of that freedom.... Thank you for your heartfelt and insightful comments. I'm really happy that you enjoyed this poem, Justin!

Congratulations Kelly on a most wonderful write her with "Let Me Go." I'm very happy to see that it is "Poem of the Day." The strength, simplicity, tempo, and tone are marvelous.
