Freedom

Inside a cage filled with mist

The door was open

I left in search of freedom

While you stayed and sang

Crossing over the highest mountains

And descending into deep valleys

Even as I skimmed across the surface of the sea

And reached the edge of the horizon

Your clear song continued to echo in my ears

While I gasped for breath

Music must have surrounded you

Though there are no new places left for me on this Earth

I know without venturing into the distant universe

That the whole world was within your song

And I too, follow your lead and sing
