:: Daffodils and Ravens ::

I look past the daffodils

Behind a  birch tree

And see the fence

That  keeps me trapped

An ivy covered picturesque

Prison wall

Beyond this solitary confinement

I hear my ocean calling me

My home is there

My heart is there

It is the only place I ever feel

True peace

I dream of it

I hear the waves in the wind

I try desperately to will myself there

But I cannot get to the world beyond the fence

So I sit here

Looking at the yellow daffodils

Listening to Ravens

And wondering how I became trapped

Behind this fence

Again
