"The Caged Raven"

• Artist: Maki Casanova
• Description: The caged raven may be like each one of us. We want to show our talents to everyone, we want to shine, we want to be known, we want to be respected. Yet opportunities don't seem to come by that often, and we end up taking most of them for granted since they seem so small and insignificant. But most of us don't know that the biggest successes often come from the smallest and humblest beginnings....

Staring out into the shimmering light
And envying its vast freedom
With wings as black as cloudless night
Trapped in her unlikely kingdom

She sits there, all alone
Perched on a wooden branch
The feeling of liberty, She has known
Yet is unable to catch

But one lucky day, on a bright, sunny time
The cage had swung ajar
The inviting chirps, to Her, were chimes
And She was excited to fly as far

She readied herself and those wings
Those wings of cloudless night
As she takes off, she happily sings
Soaring into the shimmering light

This was great. I could see this happening in my head while I read it. 5/5
