Beauty Behind Bars Poem by Katie Anon

Beauty Behind Bars

Rating: 3.5


I know why caged birds still sing
Even without the feel of the wind
Trapped within a home of solid bars
Without view of sky, sun or stars

Songs of beauty it can not have seen
Without inspiration from places ever been
Still, emotion and thoughts the tune does bring
Stirring something deep and powerful within

While singing it just patiently waits
For the door to open and thus fulfil its fate
Or conversely perhaps has it accepted this life
And sings to cope with all its strife

Either way it still gives me hope
And like the bird I shall not mope
For even behind my own prison wall
Perhaps I can produce magnificence beyond this all
