When the shadows of evening cling to the night's tresses

When the shadows of evening cling to the night's tresses,
I open my soul and confess to the silence,
Like a canary lost in the mist of my thoughts,
You were trapped in the cage of life, unable to fly towards the azure skies.
But the wind passed by in an unrestrained hurry,
Past your cage with its silver lock,
I have come to free you from the intensity of longing,
To teach you how to fly again, without fear or doubt.
I will hold your weary wings in my palm,
Until you absorb the lesson of the teaching wind,
Fear shall exist no more, for I have saved you from perishing,
Now you will bloom and soar to the high heavens, with the dignity of an eagle.
I will always leave the door of my heart open,
For you to fly to me, whenever you feel the need,
I wish for you to ascend towards sunsets of azure skies,
But come also when my voice will call you to love and laughter.
In a world filled with gentle and yellow canaries,
You are that unique longing vibrating within me,
Come, teach me too to break free and to fly,
To rise towards the heavens, in a hidden corner of pearlescent clouds.
Let us carry on our wings the burden of freedom,
Having the courage to traverse seas and oceans,
To learn from the lessons of the air and our wings,
For in love and trust may be found the secret to soaring towards lofty dreams.
Let's raise the cage of emotions in golden flames,
To explore together endless and pure worlds,
Come, teach me to untie myself from the quiet earth,
To elevate our flight into the blue skies, in an infinite and silent dance.
