Beyond These Jaded Walls
To realms beyond madness
she seeks serenity,
Golden solace lie in wait,
as her feet stagger upon the threshold,
she hesitates —
All she has known is survival,
but her tainted heart still pined
for something beyond these jaded walls,
and she wondered,
If the birds were afraid of heights,
would they still take the leap
from the branches they
peacefully perch upon?
But the forest cries out in humility,
and the sparrow sings veracity,
her prayers answered
on the wings of the forgotten,
as temptation thrusts itself upon her,
Was it divinity that knocked,
or was it all just a mirage in the night?
