Silent flutter...
feathered eyes trace horizon,
tattered wings unfurling
to sail upon the holistic surge
of a moon-strung breeze.
I relish freedom,
swallow exhilaration...
as my uncaged gaze collides,
ebullient, with an opaque sky.
Through mists of moonlit reveries
I wade, incandescent,
eulogize the demise of irksome censure
as self-liberated footsteps
echo in rhythmic tandem
to the beating pulse of heart.
Shedding the shadowed cloak of discretion
proscribed by my own sentient convictions,
in bemused fascination, I watch it fall
forming limpid, disintegrating pools of ash,
finally laid to rest.
