My beautiful words
In my hands I held you, fly
Free, once was enough
I really enjoyed writing this one. I could see the poem like a hawk held in the cup of my hands. I knew the two lines might slip away before I could move the cat and get paper and pen. That didn’t matter. I had seen them, known them. It was their right to take flight. I didn’t need to put them in a cage. I had seen them, known them. It was enough.
It’s hard to say if fly free, is one phrase of if there’s a pause indicating separation. This play on words that continues with my mind not knowing is kind of interesting.
