The Caged Butterfly
Under the crimson painted sky,
the rain is falling again.
I can hear every drop cry,
I know they understand my pain.
The rusted bars of my cage,
reflect the agonized view
of dripping shadows dress in rage,
announcing the ominous truth.
The ruthles clock announce midnight;
the shadows gather at the door.
Once again they'll bleach the night;
and use my pride to clean the floor.
I start wondering as is coming up the dawn:
oh my freedom, oh my faith, oh my hope;
oh my love, oh my dreams, oh my dreams,
where have you gone?
