Jennifer Derfoldy: Caged no more... (dedicated to Sophia Krone)
The caged bird, her gilded cage long gone,
no bars, no door... Once a dream, now a yearning
for that unknown flight which will allow her to soar
Her dreams ever were, ever are of things
yet to experience and explore... Once a dream,
now a yearning for that unknown hunger,
that taste of so much more...Her song long stifled
in her breast unsung, a voice long silenced...
Once a dream, now a yearning, release of rapture
of the sweetest chord...She, not knowing of what
these freedoms truly mean... Once dreamed,
now a yearning, a daring to dream her joy into being
She has dreamed the unknown, sensing its delights
in her deepest recess of mind...She will live all
that she has never known, always...
...having known the longing. But the freedom song,
she sings in a lonely voice...the sad song of a love,
once held...now lost.
