Last night I wake with an itch in my veins.
My body was aching with exhilarating pain.
I looked at my fingers and saw feathers appear.
The window stood open and an eagle appeared.
He told me it was time to spread my wings and fly.
I replied that I have loved ones; responsibilities I can’t deny.
His eyes flared with focus; with there is no turning back.
He explained to me that I should come – without leaving a track.
Not understanding, I stared into the night.
Suddenly opening my arms – ready for this flight.
Tears appeared from my eyes as I finally kiss him away.
Letting him go was maybe MY tie, but I have to go today.
