The Gifts of the Fourth Chakra

Wild spirit -
I cherished you tender 
within my halo of prana;
careful not to hurt you
as I worked to set you free
using hands of peace
in harmony 
with my heart's song 

I beheld your fragile form 
of freedom lost 
as your panicked eyes 
pleaded release..
and in those precious
and few sacred moments 
I felt you relinquish 
your fight or flight
to my mission of mildness...

a unifying lesson of love
befell us that day
as we exchanged gifts -
and when again you flew
through reflective silvery winds 
on turquoise wings anew 
we elevated in mindful mercy
to compassionate heights
in revered reverberations... 
gratified to be reborn
in your new found freedom
