"Caged Bird

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the heaven.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom come across through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant loma
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fatty worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied and then he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for nonetheless
and his tune is heard on the distant colina
for the caged bird sings of freedom."
― Maya Angelou, The Complete Collected Poems

"Nosotros, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness

until dear leaves its loftier holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its railroad train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes abroad the chains of fright
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's lite
we cartel be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all nosotros are
and will e'er be.
Yet it is but honey
which sets usa gratuitous."
― Maya Angelou
