Wings

Khalid Mukhtar · September 16, 2023 · Leave a Comment

You’ve locked yourself inside a cage of gold
And thrown the key into the flaming sun
It’s burning yet you feel the dark and cold
Afraid to see the things you have become

But souls are birds that cages cannot settle
The wings of faith can cut through any metal

Micropoetry, Poetry
