Capture On the Free Spirit

Soared the free spirit of the snow bird, and 
Wheeled delirious above defiant ground, her 
Lily wings unfettered beat, cooled the sun's face, 
And stirred complacency of the clouds.

She cared for nothing but her release, and 
Lighted deft for phantom instants, upon 
Men's stony hearts, chipping them a fraction, 
Then vanished stripped of meagre trace. 

Until his eclipse laid still her flight, and 
Crooned the wind song melody, she tarried, more 
Than ever before, and then, too late, smitten 
Semi-clipped, she surrendered unto love. 

He wrought magic capture on the free spirit, yet 
Begs the query "Why? Why me?", not 
Reasoning, at the vital core, love 
Demands no answer.
