Fierce, Foe, Feathers

They thought they did but neither of them knew what love meant . . . .

As they puzzled at us in our cages

They thought love was conditional and acted theirs out to deserted halls on empty stages

Chose not to watch as they starved us of passion and love

The food that we both craved as it ran in our blood

They chose not to see our beautiful bright feathers fall to the floor 

As we grew grey and silent and sang for them no more.

They deliberately averted their eyes and distracted themselves,

Threw a dusty dark cloth over us, put us out of reach on the highest shelves.

So no one could touch and no one could see, hidden, forgotten,

Both you and me.

But whilst they chose never to see

I never stopped listening out for you

You had never stopped looking for me

I finally heard your magical song full of passion and fun

Promises of happier times to come

You finally found me and caught my last falling feather 

We promised each other that day we would fight to be together.

I clawed at my cage and unbolted its door 

And flew straight to you and together we soared.

We held on to each other and reached for the sky

 Now finally so happy united again we fly

We sing and we dance, we swirl and we laugh

Eternally the Love Bir ds are as one at last.
