Wings of Freedom

By moonmama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

An old woman am I My days spent now I've done much, seen much Asked for little Raised my family Worked my farm My husband dead Since 1981 I am old Tired Tonight as I lay in my lonely bed In my quiet room I dreamed of flying Looking down at the old farm below I tentatively step from my branch Flying Climbing ever higher I feel my oldness slipping away I feel my bones becoming lighter Soaring now, I catch the wind Beneath snowy wings One last look, and I leave My old woman's body behind Inhabiting the wings of an eagle Finally, I have what I want....
