"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged birds sings of freedom. - Maya Angelou |

I've finally decided to work on this site and make something out of it. It is currently in progress, but I have several ideas with what to do with it. I suppose it shall be a doorway of sorts; a path to stumble down. My life has been a path--bare dirt, gravel, and nature at its utmost. Just as Robert Frost--"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - / I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference." Walk with me? And while you're browsing the paths, etch your name in the carving tree (guestbook). |
