FLY

She fluttered into life,
a sound escaped
meek but audible


She lay there cocooned in the arms of nature
the wind blew strong and she toppled over and fell
but whilst falling she learned to fly
a fool , she flew not away
she flew in circles round and round trying to keep her roots intact
and flies she still
not into freedom
for she must "hold the hand that holds her down"
and stay pinned to the circle she has been taking for years
One day though she might just escape to some new circle
some new land
to preserve her shattered cocoon
and survive the bond
