Escape

A bird, trapped in a cage,

Released into the world,

Spreading its wings and soaring off.

Heading to a place where it will spend its life,

In bliss, peaceful and happy,

And free.

A joyful tune pours from it's mouth.

The world, straining to hear it,

Wanting to catch every glorious note.

Each sound sending a messsage,

Of freedom.

Once the song is heard,

The world wants to experience these feelings.

They too want to escape,

Just as the bird.

Some escape to different lands,

While others escape into the words of writing,

Or the lines of music.

And the bird still sends out it's message,

Spurring acts of freedom, so that all can,

Escape.
