to all lost within the
night
to all left behind in
the firefight
she became a caged bird
sullied and shamed
brave enough to sing
through bars in
whispers
the moon pulsates in
the clear dark
& gives her warmth and
wanderlust
she dreams about dancing
in sunlit prairie
meadows
she'll never tell you where
the wind goes
when it steals your hat
& never bothers
to tell you
goodbye
we must all roam the earth
a few times
before we ever come
back home

brave enough to sing

she dreams about dancing
in sunlit prairie
meadows
she'll never tell you where
the wind goes
when it steals your hat
& never bothers
to tell you
goodbye
we must all roam the earth
a few times
before we ever come
back home
