Birds in our Cages

We’re all birds in our cages now

Looking out our windows

Protected by walls

And listening with our hearts

To nature’s whispers and whines

And as the bird song becomes brighter

And filters our hearts with pure joy

We know that the season has shifted

Into the ripeness of Spring

And we find ourselves

In a new realm

And a new way of relating

With deep respect

For Mother Nature

And the impact of the unknown

For where there is darkness,

There is light

May the shadows of your past

Stay behind you

And may your light be the beacon of hope

For humanity

And let’s transform and transcend

To a simpler and more peaceful world
