Caged
~
In caged freedom I wish to touch above the sky
but arms while strong will not suffice
and didn’t teach my wings to fly-
A cage of gold becomes the life I ever known
and seems so far as ever flown
was in my dreams,
but real they seemed
with strongest wings I flew so far
that when I reached to touch the sky,
I touched a star-
