Caged Innocence

In verdant bars, a soul is trapped, A vision of wild beauty, now confined. The eyes, like lanterns in the night, Shine bright with wonder, and a deep delight. The whiskers tremble, a gentle breeze, As the cat's gaze meets the world's unease. The rusty cage, a worn disguise, Conceals the heart that beats with surprise. In this still moment, we find our own, A reflection of the freedom we've known. The cat's longing, a mirror to our soul, A reminder of the wildness that makes us whole. The bars, a boundary, a test of will, A challenge to break free, to be still. In the cat's eyes, a story unfolds, Of a spirit that remains untold. A tale of freedom, and the heart's desire, A flame that burns, a love that aspires.
