try your wings

              for the beautiful souls
                 of all the exiles and outcasts
                       that are living among us;
                           for all who are straining to be free
                               but are kept locked
                                   in invisible chains ...
                                                try your wings
                                                  o gentle birds,
                                                     and learn to fly.
                               take flight
                                and soar
                               above the world
                                 that is your cage.
                              take flight
                              and soar
                               without the masks
                                 that hide your faces.
                              let ropes be loosed
                                 that bind your hearts
                                   and    keep you    helpless
                                    in your nests.
                     
                              let ropes be loosed
                                 that choke your voices
                              and    still    the songs
                                which in you sing.
                              o try your wings
                              my gentle birds,
                               and spread your feathers
                              in the sun,
                                  unveil your colours
                              dipped in love.
                              take flight
                              and let your beauty flow,
                                 and paint your souls
                                     upon the skies.
