Endless Dreams
Between the world and me, lies
 a pristine wall of infinite glass,
 separating the hidden shadows
 of clipped canary wings
 from shadows of metal cage bars.
 Challenging reality and lucid dreams,
 
 an endless night of dreams
 draws the line between truths and lies,
 evoking memories of monkey bars
 and shattered pieces of stained glass,
 memories of a torn butterfly's wings,
 watching them fall back into the shadows.
 
 The voice hidden behind the shadows
 calls out to me in my dreams
 asking whether I would wear the wings
 of freedom and escape this world of lies
 shattering the untouched wall of glass
 caging me behind the bars.
 
 Detained by unbreakable bars,
 I stay behind until shadows
 become too dark to see. I watch glass
 shatter into droplets of dreams 
 merging the truths with the lies.
 Stretching outspread wings
 
 until the creased tips of wings 
 touch the rigid cage bars,
 I wonder what there is that lies
 beyond the light and the shadows
 in the world unbounded by dreams.
 Let's cross this gate of glass
 
 before the broken pieces of glass 
 pierce these newly freed wings.
 Let's wake from these lucid dreams
 rid of the fear that bars
 us within. Fly away from our shadows,
 forever stranded on the ground, they lie.
 
 Break the glass and bend the bars
 find your wings and brighten shadows
 to find where in dreams the truth lies.
