Bird in a Guilded CageA Poem by SueI wrote this whilst Princess Diana was still alive; it became even more poignant when she died...A
beautiful bird swings to and fro Upon
its metallic perch Surrounded
by bars Enclosed
within While
watchful eyes from the world outside Observe
its moves Record
and note its every song And
every whim Unnoticed
go the drooping feathers The
dirty prison Water
long past its sell by date And
moulding seed Only
in dreams does the bird break forth From
its ivory towers Free
from the steel and chains of mail Like
lightening speeds I
cannot make your world A
fortress around your heart Go
forth no longer bound together Forever
