BEYOND THE CAGE

inside the cage inside the cage the silence trembles trembles with the sound of broken wings broken wings still trying to remember remember how the open sky once sings little wings little wings without their feathers feathers falling somewhere in the dark in the dark beyond the frozen fences fences glowing like a dying spark I keep watching, keep watching the distance distance stretching farther every night every night the stars begin dissolving dissolving slowly out of sight beyond the moon beyond the stars beyond the fading milky way the light keeps disappearing softly softly drifting far away if you vanish past the edge of heaven heaven turns into an empty sound empty sound repeating through the silence silence where your voice is never found the moon falls down the moon falls down into the morning morning burns against the shattered gold shattered gold of cages left abandoned abandoned in the freezing cold and the cage the cage still keeps its eyes wide open open toward the darkened wall darkened wall beyond the distant echoes echoes where the final lights still crawl I keep searching keep searching through the shadows through the shadows underneath the sun underneath the cold and melted moonlight moonlight saying you are gone gone but still inside my memory memory turning into haze into haze that drifts around forever forever trapped beyond the cage all day long all day long the world keeps spinning spinning without telling me the way the way back into your fading heartbeat heartbeat slowly washed away and I wander wander without any direction direction disappearing step by step step by step beneath the frozen starlight starlight I can’t forget inside the cage inside the cage the silence trembles trembles with the sound of broken wings broken wings still trying to remember remember how your freedom sings beyond the cage... beyond the cage... beyond the cage...
