Unattached
With no roots
With no barrier
Free as a bird
I want to be
Despite the fears of freedom
Despite the vulnerability of the unattached
Despite the unfamiliarity of the unknown
Free as a bird
I want to be
Woven into the warmth of the evening wind
Swaying on the willow tree’s branches
Carried by the breath of the stars
Free as a bird
I want to be
From here to there
Never missed and never expected
Never recognized and never attached
Free as a bird
I want to be
Elizabeth Kaufman-Buchel (born 1954) Liechtenstein
