Out of the Nest

Audio Recordings / tagged Children, Leaving Home / August 15, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

(for Carolyn going away to college)

You have the soul of a bird
it’s so joyful, light and fair
and now it’s flying to a world
that the frightened people share

And I pray you safe
when they see you there
drawing water from mirages
for the flowers
round your castles in the air
