The light was fading and so was hope
Encased and locked up
It was now or it was never
And I didn’t agree with the latter

So hurl and gauntlets and off I set
Across field and hedge to them I must get
Encased and locked up
Feel of exitment,trill of right doing

Wrapped with wire , they could not ever leave
Set back , gather clippers to hide up my sleeve
Snap ! And he’s free , sky high magpie
But she ? Still , Encased and locked up

Clatter and pull and struggle
Ferocious fluttering of feathers
He watches from a solemn shed
Like a mourning widow

Time passes like the night breeze
He excepts ones faith so to does she
A sudden rise and dissapereance
Yet she stands still and stays

Encased and locked up.
