I am restless
Yearning to stretch my shackled wings
To feel the wind streaming through my feathers
I long to be free
To be released into the blue above me
I watch you
With envious eyes
As you soar
Wings kissing the sun
And clouds clinging to your body
My spine quivers with desire
To chase
Glide alongside you
The bars close in
I am running out of room
I have long out grown my captivity
You watch me
With a wistful gaze
As you circle me
Waiting for the
Hour glass lock
To run out
That counts down the years
Months
Weeks
Days
Hours
Minuets
Seconds
Until I may join you
