Eden of Happiness (poem)

Dawnstar

POEM #2
___________________________________________________
Like a bird in a gilded cage,
Comfortably trapped,
Hunting for a way to escape,
Coming up empty handed,
Suppressed, oppressed driven by the master,
Controlled.

Dreams filling the lifeless eyes,
Of flying away,
A false taste of freedom,
Never known but known,
Wrapping up her last weapon waiting for the light,
Dawn arrives, shadows destroyed, blinding bright,
Incandescent hands shreading the last hope,
Disappearing....leaving a darker darkness behind,
Consuming and controlling the lost one.

Change.
An ending, a beginning the prisoner is free,
Exploring, curious full of light
But too broken for the world,
So new walls are erected,
Higher and stronger than before,
Free yet not free,
Trapped inside an empty hallow.

The convoy of hope arrives,
Resisted. Rejected.

A blast of light,
The invisible walls shatter,
An Angel descends,
Drawing the fragile bird in it's arms,
It ascends to the boundless sky,

And finally the bird is set free.
