Little Bird Poem by Matthew Holloway

take flight, take flight
little bird, fly away
far from the barren branches
stripped by winters hand
far from the empty tree
which offers no warmth
there is no home here
there is no protection for you
take flight, take flight
soar high and mighty
through the open sky
do not settle here no more
the leaves are falling
and the flowers wilt
as though the world you know
dies in slow motion
take flight, take flight
be free of this place
sing your songs aloud
in a far flung paradise
where the sun awaits
and the trees are still green
the flowers still bloom
take flight little bird
take flight
