Why must you go? she pleaded
You run away like the cheetahs
that have found their prey
You fly away like the hawk
that hunts from tree to tree
You swim away like the orcas
that feast across the ocean free
You always try to get back into the wild life
but you belong here with me.
Silence filled the room and I answered
"I was wild when you found me and yes it's true, I can be tamed.
But when I crave to run free my darling, I expect you to run,
to swim, to fly just as fast as the animal that's still in me".
