A wild bird…
A wild bird.
I saw the fear in her eyes.
She told me that “I love you,
I need you.
But I’m afraid.
Afraid of losing myself in a emotion
where I won’t be able to escape.”
A wild bird can be captured.
A wild bird may forget the freedom it once had,
but in dreams, it will fly free and have no walls to lock them in.
I heard her crying at night.
She was swimming in a sweet love
and dreaming of flying away.
Twisting up her dreams and heart.
A wild bird will slowly die.
One day,
the wildness in the eyes of the wild bird will be gone.
She will quit talking of life and great dreams.
Her laughter will fade away and
her spirit of life will be lost, forever in the gentle breezes.
I try to motivate my love.
I took her to the sea, the mountains and
we took long road trips.
I saw her blue eyes become sadder.
I used to see the blue sky in her eyes,
now I saw sadness and tears.
I will set my wild bird free,
I will tell her to fly away to her hope and dreams,
I will tell her,
I will wait for you.
Somethings can’t be held down,
some dreams are so powerful.
They can kill your energy and joy of life if we allow our dreams, to be forgotten.
I couldn’t kill my beautiful lady,
I could not cage her in a love with walls and barriers.
I released her on a sunny day,
I took her to the airport,
I broke my own heart.
I found a sort of peace for setting a spirit free to
wander the great world.
I knew when you set a wild bird free.
They would not return.

The more I read your posts the more I wonder personal experience? Or just some wild thoughts about some wild things?

The photos are true, the story too. About a Italian girl name Marcella (Beatrice). My friend wife sister and we wandered the California highway one for three months in the Winter of 1992. Even California couldn’t hold her. She taught me to dance with the sea and to love the city of San Francisco. Thank you dear Ricky for reading and the comment. I believe some people can’t be held down. Holding them down, would be a sin.

WOW… that’s bittersweet in a way. Like she was here today and gone tomorrow. Gone with the breeze that she floated in on. How beautiful and sorrowful at the same time. She has a pretty name and it’s amazing that you remember it like it just happened.

Some places and faces, we can never forget. I tell everyone. Life can be minutes and seconds. Make the good times last and allow the bad days to be forgotten. Thank you Ricky for the comment.
