Love Me Like a Bird

Love me like a bird

with unclipped wings

who is free

and uncaged

and expressive

when she sings

Love me like a bird

that you've never before seen

and only know

by her tune

her message

and the light that she brings

Love me like a bird

with reverence, dignity, and respect

Love me as if

you're unsure

I will ever be back

Love me passionately

Love me tender

Love me until your entire body must surrender

Love me as I soothe you

Love me when I leave

Love me when I'm soaring

with wind beneath my wings

Love me when I'm broken

when I'm rebuilding my nest

Love me when I'm golden

heart pounding in my chest

Love me like a bird

pulse connected to the Earth

Love me like a bird

who must go flutter

Dear Love

Oh please -

Love me like a bird

Love me like a bird

You must release
