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?
