Caged Bird


Caged bird I know not

your heart.

Nor do I know the rhythm

 

Though I have seen

your tears, heard your words, and watched your life,

 I am still not sure.

 

Caged bird in leaving

your flock and flying away,

 are you happy?

 

Caged bird, did your flying away restore the peace in your heart?

Although I cannot see you, I wish you nothing but the freedom that your heart desires.

 

Caged bird, are you finally free?
