ENCASED...

Caged, yet hopeful
He fluttered around the walls
crying and calling out for help.
He was pitied, he was cared for-
Yet no hand would break him free;
still, with hope, he carried on-
"Not today, perhaps.."
The day dawned-
The walls were broken
And the cage, blasted to dust and smoke-
He fluttered on,
Around imaginary boundaries;
crying and calling out-
"Help me fly away..anyone..."

VEIL

Soft muslin, light and tender
The breeze playing with it
Hides the rosy lips and dimple chin
And the emotions that lie within.
Days roll on, years pass by-
There's no muslin and no breeze;
Yet, it's those rosy lips and dimple chin
That hide emotions, deep within!
