A claw approaches a scratch causes you pain. Your cries of help unheard in the rain. Again and again the claw scratches. A strange ear hears your cry and green eyes look for you.
Your small body is spotted, a voice cries "No!" As the claw approaches once more. Big warm hands release your foot from it's trap and holds your frail body light. "Why?" Ask the man with the green eyes to the cat behind the claws. His green eyes going grey and filling with tears as he holds the little blue bird in the palm of his hand. The cat behind the claw looks at him with amusement and silently struts away. Through big hands the green eyed man feels the feint heartbeat of the little blue bird in his palm, "I am so sorry" says the man as tears fall from his face, "I'm sorry".
Through big hands the little heartbeat slows. The little life is fading away. Wrapped in warm hands the little blue bird has no more pain.
A little blue bird opens his eyes and looks through the tears into green eyes, "Sorry" says a broken voice to the little life in his hands. "You are just a little baby. Innocent and frail." Thought the man with the green eyes. "I cannot save you" said the broken voice, hushed and emotional. "All I can do is hold you and keep you warm"
The final soft and freil heartbeat is felt through big hands. A hush falls over the world, a head slumps and a tear falls onto the wing of a lifeless little blue bird.
"You never experienced the feeling of air under your wings or the freedom of flight in your life." Thought the green eyed man with tears on his cheeks.
A lesson is learned, must be learned, from the short life of the little blue bird.
Your potential is unknown, your future has many amazing sights, air under your wings, the skies at your demand.
Fly now.
