Somewhere

Trapped in a fortress behind an invisible wall. 
Floating like bubble in the cage of time.
Like the time I burst is the time I fall,
so I should keep playing my rhyme. 

Wanting to go back to gorgeous moments of yesterday,
but doing so is an impossibility.
What I can just do is to cherish the moments of today 
and explore the shores of possibility. 

For somewhere, out there, on the space faraway 
is a shining sun and a glimmering sky. 
Somewhere, beyond reach, is a place without gray 
where time gorgeously passes by.  

So I shall keep dreaming, and keep extending my hand 
to as far as my soul can see. 
For someday, I can crack the wall where I stand 
and soar high, wild and free.
