Uncage the Songbird
Foregoing the fool
A tattered heart slept
In a reticule.
Two drawstrings pulled tight
To obscure the light.
Emotions fraught
With second thought
Perfected a
Silent reply.
Nightingales
With clipped wings
Rarely sing.
Free your
Soul and
Fly!
Dedicated to my wonderfully terrific Father:

Happy Valentines Day, Dad.
Miss and will always love you, Johnny.
