I saw a captive Phoenix beating wings against the bars
I witnessed her emotions and how deeply she was scarred
I held a hand to catch her tears her eyes half closed to me
But when my fingers opened up her tears became a key
This key became her freedom with energetic bursts
This caged up Phoenix stretched her wings then quenched her
pent-up thurst
She sang a song of greater days and emptied all her sighs
The one who put her in this cage was suddenly surprised
He found that she,indeed could soar...amongst the clouds on high
Then forgive the man who put her here and echo her goodbye
He took a beauty ...he tried to keep her energies intact
What happened here is she grew and with each tear he lacked.
