The Invisible Cage

And yet again,

I get trapped

in that invisible cage

of routine life.

I try to soar

and then give up,

banging into unseen walls.

I have tasted the open air

of the unrestricted world

that always calls me.

But I pretend to flutter

in this curbed space.

Inspirations are out there,

waiting for me

to turn them into a design

or a poem.

But then there is

this intangible confine,

that does not let me unfold.

I find no uninterrupted place

where I can go on creating

to entertain my mind.

My library of dreams,

I once dug into

seems to be lost in chaos.

I continue to wait for a strong wind

that will blow open this cage

and I shall be a free bird…

Someday. Someday.
