The One that Got Away
An egg is found
 Just a simple egg
 It can live or die
 with time.
 
 As the days roll by
 out comes a bird
 wings already spread
 to fly.
 
 As it dips and soars
 you reach to it
 long fingers outstretched
 in vain
 
 Is there a cage nearby?
 Perhaps a rope of some sort
 to wrangle this bird 
 today
 
 But alas, those items
 were all left behind
 And the bird? It flew
 away
