Call of the Wild
What do you see?
When you look at me?
We always share a moment
Eye to eye.
Do you hear what I hear?
Does it call to you?
I pace the floor as you do
In your enclosure
Relentlessly, obsessively,
No peace.
Do you hear what I hear?
Does it call to you?
A caged animal
With a scent of freedom
On the air
No peace
I need to shed this body
Take flight
Feel the cool wind
Updrafts carrying me higher.
When I look at you in your cage
I see me.
