For liberty I gasped, for freedom From this cage called life.

For, "liberation!"  Echoed, pounded, ever thru my head.

For to see the birds, forever free, knowing Their direction and purpose.

I envy them.

For they know themselves and are true to it.

I envy the trees.

Knowing, where they are, and content to stay in one place forever.

I feel as if I am always to be pounding at the door of my cage crying "freedom! Alas, grant me my freedom!"

I feel like the clouds.

Always drifting. Never staying In one place, always changing.

But, one day either I shall be content in this cage or I become bird In a tree.
