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. You conveyed you message most clearly in five balanced quatrains. And it is a most obvious "7" too from me. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
