what did you think would happen
when you clipped her wings
& locked her in the cage
what did you think would happen
when she had enough
set herself on fire
& burst into flame
finally
the wind sighed
she chooses freedom
a soft breeze scatters the ashes
they float through the iron bars
across the sea
finally
the wind whispered
she says yes to her self
what did you think would happen
when the ashes settled
& she rose
wings spread across
an endless sky
horizon to horizon
heart beating stronger
than a hammer forged by the gods
what did you think would happen?
