Yes, I am here.

Open the door.

Don't be afraid,

We could fly.

We could soar.

Although, you aren't really here,

As I stay in this cell, locked.

The birds outside, take freedom

& then by them, I am mocked.

Time will never wait;

Your presence resides in my mind.

For now, this how it is,

The moonlight shines through

my closed blinds.
