ESCAPE by Elnora Palmtag

ESCAPE

Perching, watching, waiting, soaring, moving from limb to limb

Is it night or day, why do I care?

Lifting away from the cares of each day

Am I awake or asleep in my cozy escape from life?

 

I see you looking for me,

You cannot see me, away from you,

As I soar I see the thing I want

But it is not mine

I cannot reach it but I will.

 

A mother I will become who bears the burdens of life

I will you more that you are

That you can make yours more than you are

And they can make theirs more than they are.

 

But here I sit

Alone in the night

High above you

Waiting for the day

To bring on the burdens of life.
