I flew high up in the sky,
Travelled many miles.
I passed the mighty mountains,
The vast blue oceans,
The lush green forests,
And the dry arid lands
Choked with the empty lives of mortals.
I flapped my wings
And soared up in the air
Happy and singing –
For I was free, totally free
Like the wind that was blowing around me.
The clouds smiled at me
They knew what freedom meant.
All at once I was pulled down
My wings felt heavy on my sides
My new found happiness
Was torn away from me.
Breathless, and panting in agony,
I opened my eyes to the four walls around me
And realized that it was just a dream.
