A Caged Bird Sings...

A caged bird sings again

of empty airs so free

It's song knows not of when

this bird forgot its tree

How the bird continually sings

of such long forgotten things


It remembers only the tune

under this night's darkest moon

The song drifting as a ghostly truth

that haunts the desolate air

Storm clouds loom a shadow-proof

the heavens must be elsewhere


Lightning strikes to smite the

bird beyond the wire cage

Winds roar and gust to spite the

song that drowns within its rage

The storm dies soon, & silence stays

Night devoid of tune, distills the end of days


But still somewhere far from here

a sound resounds, and dark fogs clear

 

As a caged bird sings again

of empty airs so free

It's song decries of when

this bird forgot its tree

How the bird continually sings

of such long forsaken things
