Jay

So in my two hands, I hold protectively, this young Jay.
It's wild, but possible to keep and be mine,
If I'm willing to take the time...
But as I stand here holding, this beautiful creature
I start to wonder..
Is it right to try to keep it?
Should I hold it close, tame it, cage it??
Or should I let it go.. be free to find a better companion, 
One with whom to sing.

Should I let him go?
