on the back of the wind

and floats downstream

till the current ends

and dips his wing

down his narrow cage

can seldom see through

his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and

so he opens his throat to sing.

with a fearful trill

of things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom.
