In a little cage, I kept a tiny bird

Sang the sweetest songs that I have ever heard

Born with red feathers and a golden beak

A perfect companion I never had to seek

I fed and looked after her day and night

But she always yearned the freedom of the flight

And though it hurt to see her in such a pain

I knew she was safer here than back out again

So I tried my best to make her feel at home

But her heart was in the skies and always felt alone

So one day I opened the door of her cage a little bit

To see if she loved the cage or wanted to get out of it

She flew away in an instant without a passing glance

I wondered if she was always waiting for a chance

And I saw her fly in little circles to express her joy

Reminded of the time when I was a little boy

Now she’s on her own and not within my sight

I don’t know if hunger can be cured by the freedom of the flight

For I know she isn’t brave enough to stay up in a fight

I don’t know if she’ll ever find a shelter to sleep at night

It has been almost a year now since I last heard her voice

It may have been difficult but I think she made the right choice

The journey will be difficult but she will come out strong

The cage was her prison. The sky is where she belongs

When the stars have all disappeared

And the night is on its last leg

I wouldn’t have a single memory

Which I would like to borrow or beg

Except for those little dreams

Which I lived with open eyes

While my heart played a simple song

To silence my poor soul’s cries

For my happiness is attached

To a word I do not expect

I may have heard it a thousand times

But not in the same context

Though it shall hurt me to think

That it may forever be this way

I couldn’t help but smile thinking

That she loved me for a day

I see her face amidst the light

Of a star-studded night

And her voice is like an angel that I hold divine

Asking me if I could cross the line

And make her mine

And take her in my arms and let her shine. Let her shine

…

And I know that a day will come

When we will become

A fallen star on the edge of an unwanted time

So let me stand through this pain

For it’ll never come again

She helps me to forget all that will hurt me. So I let her shine

…

When the rain falls on her face

There is no other place

That I would rather be in that moment of time

Every little hole in my heart

Is crying for a start

And the moon paints a picture of her soul. So I let her shine

Walking by my side

Smiling wide

Her heart gifts the kindest replies

Without having tried

I see it all in her eyes

…

Whispering in my ear

Right here

While time so easily flies

All that I want to hear

Is all spoken by her eyes

…

And nothing matters more

Like before

Guided by the angels’ cries

I find my shore

And it is all in her eyes

My heart was always a poet

And all the blood in my veins, his ink

In you he found his poetry

As he fills this page in a blink

The words flow out so gently

Their steps are soft and sweet

They hum a joyful melody

And dance to the writer’s beat

The sentences are in order

Descending from love to peace

Satisfied, the heart will rest now

After finishing a masterpiece

Staring at an endless sea

For as long as it could be

Dreaming with a heavy head

About all the things I never had

When the world would pass us by

Sit and talk and time would fly

Every song now reminds me of you

I wish they all would just come true

I may have lost my way now

But I will be back home

Will you be waiting at the door

When I will be back home?

…

So many things I’ve left behind

But you have never left my mind

Now it is our time to grow old

Time for the stories to be told

All the moments that we shared

All the hearts that really cared

There’s no hope here in this hole

But I will find it in my soul

I may have lost my way now

But I will be back home

Will you be waiting like before

When I will be back home?
