Birds-eye View

I feel like the caged bird
Wanting, yearning, waiting
To explore the world on my own
But strings tie me down,
It’s what the world views as limits.
And my eyes see beyond the horizons.
Behind all expectations

There cloudy views don’t foreshadow my thoughts
For one moment
I see the Sun through different colors,
And the stars as the nightlights of a dark night
I’ve open my eyes wide enough to see the colors of a soul.
The brilliance of the mind

I see shadows, sheep’s, and wolves.
I see the rainbows pot of gold.
And to be caged once again trapped exploring the world
With my mind I sing, I sing a song of sorrow
Of how I wish I was
Exploring, flying, hiking, and traveling
Learning how it feels not through pictures
But through these eyes
