Life

Life is like that of a caged bird,
capable of beautiful song and flight,
but, only so an hour.
The door is opened;
And freedom...
Tasted for a bittersweet moment,
until it is no more.
Life's dreams remain empty;
Hopes never whole,
And so, the caged bird no longer sings;
For, there is too much of pain.
Realizing that happiness,
the unattainable illusion,
is but an occasional act
in a neverending drama of emptiness,
with no chance of escape.

Wow what power! Happiness is not an illusion only short lived.. it's always just around the corner.
The hurt portrayed in this is consuming..

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato)
