THE WINDOW

I was a prisoner, a solitary one
Yet I was content, for I was imbecile
Oblivious to the world outside, I didn't pine
Days passed, seasons changed, nothing mattered to me
Till one day, I found my window, opened wide!
      In streamed the light, chasing the darkness out
      There, high upon the sky, the Sun smiled at me
      The birds sang and the flowers waved
       Happiness unknown filled up my mind
      Then came night, the moon and the stars
       The cool night breeze, lulled me to sleep
      And in my dream, the world was all mine

Each following day, has something for me
Fresh and fabulous, my spirits soared high
The desire to be free, to be a part of the world
Swelled up in my heart, inflicting a pain, unknown
The gnawing pain, broke my peace
But an escape, I could not find
The inviting sight, just a wall beyond
Was driving me crazy, bit by bit
And as I felt, the last of my senses giving away,
I ran to the window and shut it LOUD!
