In the moment, I was happy.
I was laughing, you were laughing.
I was close to your side.
Though as I glanced out the window,
I spotted a lone bird,
soaring and somersaulting
just above the highest tree branches.
It looked so happy and free, so alive.
And that's when I fell completely silent.
For so long I longed to be that bird,
so happy and free...
Though how could I with clipped wings?
