I Have Waited As a BirdA Poem by Neva Flores Smith - ChangefulstormMemories of them lie anchored above a line of tangled trees............My sky yields heroes of long ago, felt as strange sensations They take control of all I have ever known to be With eyes that watch what comes this way From those faces my sun cannot see Memories of them lie anchored above a line of tangled trees With branches full of doves of hope that softly sing Lingering declarations into the light of dawn In their perfect campaign, voices ring I have waited as a bird in a cage who dreams to freely fly Here sleeping while the world moves me to wake By dipping a pen into the ink of my veins Creating outlines for me to take My restless heart beats swift, echoes sweetly into my sky Into the breezes that yield my heroes of long ago To come take control of all I know to be Help me to discover what is so I have been here as a shadow poured into a secret cage Calling on fate and chance to come and rescue me My heroes of long ago never held the key I could fly if the sky I would just see
