Bird - Caged
Trapped in a cage, an iron shell
Perhaps yearning to be free
Just like a prisoner in a cell
Who feels the pain of caged agony
It patiently bides it's time
Choosing its options with care
In silence it attempts a mime
Enduring desolate nights without fear
A slight opening comes into view
The chance is here and none too soon
It spreads its wings as if on cue
And heads out to the great beyond
Now no boundaries can ensnare it's soul
As endless mysteries then unfold
