Free to Stay

Free to Stay

Wild spirit corralled, contained, shut in
Captured, prized, caged within

Succumbs, submits, surrenders, subdued
dying, living, alone, confused

Pressing, pushing, challenging, contends
Rattles, shakes, strikes, offends

Released, expelled, spirit set free
Circles, soars...  returns to me

Needing, wanting, loving, soiree

No longer a captive... 

Is free--

To stay

Nice sentiment involved in this piece reminds me of a Waylon Jennings song "freedom to stay" nicely done.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
