The View

The sun raises,
clouds obscuring the way-

trapped as I am
within this prison,
would only be a dream
these wings would carry me away.

stripped of all
barred of my rank;
beholden to none,
save the Lord to whom I give.

Protected by naught,
beyond this minimal gift;
and yet I yearn to fly again,
soaring upon the breeze.

Wings as small as a child's
and heart too heavy to bear-
this prison is my home now,
your whispering voice all I hear.
