caged freedom

advocating a window

'caged freedom'

light coming in,
eyes looking out.
a world beyond.
black lines cut across,
confining thought 
and body.
wings shut inside,
restricted
to mortal ground.
shadows outline
the light coming in,
a crude mimicry 
of its geometric form.
inviting picture,
a play of perspective,
aluminium frame 
of eternal vision.
sunlight,
keeping freedom warm.
warm, behind iron bars.
cruel glass,
shutting in freedom, but
letting hope fly free.
silent sir,
mystical doorway
to a garden in the air.
smell the cacophony of life
in flowers fashioned
from wind.
white trees sailing
across the sky
and the bountiful fruit
of life hanging
from the ceiling of the world.
but this meadow divine,
is a dream untouchable,
a sweet vision beheld,
by freedom caged inside.
