Caged Moon
by John R. Greenwood
caged moon seeks rescue
sealed from the sky
held back from life above
like a bird with broken wing
caged cries within steel confines
free me
save me
let me circle wave filled oceans
let me haunt an autumn sky
with labored breath
my heart aches
set me free
don't let me die
the world awaits my arrival
a painter's eye seeks my pose
moon songs written need proof my magic powers
my glow
a lovers embrace must warm
set me free
I have life to light
Awesome write, love the pic and how your poem really brings it to life. Must have been the two full moons in August that prompted such lunar lines ;-)
