as a bird flieth

in you secret life
hidden from sight
in a void from offspring
and ignorant of spouse
you are free

in your secret life
you laugh, joke, smile
share your hurts
listen to anothers
you are loving

in your secret life
i only recently glimpse
how content you were
how envious i was
you were happy

in your secret life
no worries
no obligations
only diversion
you were free
as the biblical bird

the veil falls
our divide widens
words break
selfish as it was
the bird's wings beat
on fluid air
void of trace

in my reality
i wish to be
not wife bound
to responsibilty
i want to taste
the freedom
the love
the kindness
to live in bliss
in a void of honesty
in a haven of unity

I think this is what so many of us want - the ability to fly free and love freely - beautiful words
