Fugitive

Warmly a thermal lifts the feathered span. Freedom to choose which way to fly. Wind in his tail, “catch me if you can.” Glossen the malachite in his eye. Coldly familiar the fugitive within, Tries to stay ahead of the chase. Tired of having to take it on the chin. Chooses direction, time and place. Comparison is nil, no parallel drawn,  Evolution separates that way. Man and hawk together, each day at dawn, But never the hunter, always prey. The childhood dream still within  the breast. Powers for freedom just the same. Each day there’s hope, you try your best. Endeavour to see it as a game. But somewhere deep, within the misty night This vision begins to unfold. A world below viewed through eyes of malachite, The warmth of the thermal, not the cold. Today may be the day when you learn to fly    Dawn seen through an optimistic green. Or ever the fugitive until the time you die. The future remains to be seen.
