For nests built with love and care

Wind and sun provide daycare

Until wings are fully grown

And birds come into their own

Nature doesn’t clip wings

On a bird of freedom that never sins

It’s allowed to rise high 

And fill the inner sky

Every thought is a nest

They are no more a place of rest

When ego’s feathers are ruffled

And the voice of reason is muffled

Working at the ego’s behest

Every moment becomes a test

The bird of freedom in the mind’s nest

Feels like an unwelcome guest
