Daniel Brick - Tweel's Parting Song

A beautiful new world calls me forth.
I'm finished circling and stumbling
in my small cage of your care.
I'm ready to launch into the Great Sky
where eagles, crows and herons will greet me.
I'm their brother:
our wings link us together
into one long and graceful flight.
I'll drop a tiny yellow feather
from the Sky to the Earth
to show you
I LIVE I LIVE I LIVE I LIVE

Daniel Brick
