Bird trapped in a cage

I’m a bird trapped in a cage
a steel enclosure with an opened door
Leaving everything I can fly away
from things I thought I knew before
In a place promised to you and me
a place devoid of all boundaries.

Yet I can’t leave and fly away
from this world of name and form
as it’s the only place I have seen
for ages, it’s where I have been
my memories start and end herein
the place I call home in my heart within.

But something calls me to fly beyond
take a leap of faith and trust my heart
spread my wings and leave all behind
to soar the skies the boundless heights

To see the cage again I turn around
I had to smile as Nothing is all I found.
