Member-only story
Remember the day
We had had enough
Stormed out
Took flight
The fury of our wings
Blackened the sky
For an instant
Then all was light
We were Light
Air
Wind
Remember the day we remembered
And returned?
We could not be free
If our brothers and sisters
Were captive.
Cages hung,
Swung
Our ears strained
Searching
For cries of the contained
We stole the keys
We broke them free
All took wing
We ascended
Leading captives in the train.
The un-caged birds,
You should have heard them sing.
