The World Outside

Perched upon her stand

peering at world grand

Wondering eyes

Wagging tail

Ears peaked

Attuned to the world outside.

Seeming perfectly content

But wasn't she meant

for free

for roaming

for experiencing

What's on windows other side?

We are much the same

Trapped within lifes game

Longing to feel

Things seen

From inside out

Throw open window wide.

Leaping from it's sash

Exilaration fuels the dash

Wind on face

Grass tickle feet

Pure sun soaks

Joy rolls in like ocean's tide.
