Song of Freedom
December 12, 2013
Above the clouds a lone birds sings
Locked in a cage without a key
It perches there with broken wings
And painful memories.
No starlight in the empty skies
Trees whither in the bitter cold
And flickering, a hope that dies
Trapped in a cage of gold.
The moon peers out, the watchful eye
The snow it falls in gentle flakes
When from a winter sleep of lies
The dreaming bird awakes
A wind stirs in the breathless heights
It rattles on the golden bars
And in the dark, a bird takes flight
And soars under the stars.
