My Ka

In my waking dream
I have seen it dance upon the rail and
Look up at the sky
As though it were speaking to someone
Waiting for a reply
I have seen it run through the fields
With an insatiable yearn to be free
I have watched it take flight
Over the water and past the trees
Only to reluctantly return
With regret and pain on its face
As it stuggles to remain
I have seen it sit and cry
Amongst the golden strands strewn about
In the sunrise of a new day
I have felt its sorrow
I the depths of my heart
I know
It wants to leave me
