Ding! Shatters the dawn silence br The clinging of a door bell br Opened to greet her morn in freedom br Myself trapped and contained within my cell br Like a lion, star king, of the concrete br A soft summer wind, unheard br Shifting aim fully amidst the dimness br Hair slicked back as she yells br I run rapidly, back and forth, to see her br To see the glistening light within her eyes br Released from her containment br I'm restricted from freedom: confined, inside br Face pressed against the fence opening br To glance her determined stride br Taunting me as she approaches br The dawn blowing her surprise br She appears from the shadows almost laughing br Her face hiding a hideous smile br I know jealousy doesn't become me br So I stand here, head lowly bowed br Its ruff, being a dog imprisoned br With only a friend that's a cat outsidebr br Alexander Coppedgebr br
