Sun and the ground

Serene sky...
Cry of birds in the background...
Floating towards the sun..
Oh how I long for the wings of birds..
To feel their feathers towards my hands...
Warmth of the sun...
Wind against hot skin..

As I awake in my room...
I take a look out behind the bars....
Quiet...
Serene sky..
Birds flying across it...
I smile...
As I touch the cold bars across my window..
Oh how I long for the feel of the grass..
The wind in my hair..
But that's another reality..
Another time perhaps..
For me there is only darkness...
For me it is only the cool touch of the ground..
