Goldfinch

she is free or is she not?

Goldfinch

 

She sits on top of the tree

Seeing the world as her playground

For her the sky is limitless and free

It never ending; it’s infinite.

 

 

Sky is her planet; her manger

Her home is where it’s safe

From the prying eyes of danger

It’s where she can breathe.

 

 

We are those tiny beings

Which she sees on her flights

Who try to capture her with strange things

Who try to limit her sky.

 

 

She weeps for the bound

She weeps for the captured

She weeps in quiet lonely sound

She weeps for her unfortunate sisters.

 

 

She then flies again towards the never ending blue

Hoping to fly forever

She wishes she had dreams to make them true

All she has is freedom, faith and the sky.
