A Silent Plea

It was thudding softy, whispering a tale
it was cold around, inside it was in flames,
the heart was full and poring out
telling a tale, a silent plea..

Seen so much and heard a lot,
so much unspoken that hurt
the heart,
and unspoken was a silent plea...

The fluttering wings showed a sign,
a gesture maybe to reach out
Did courage fail at the last count?
hidden there was a silent plea...

Caught in the cage looking around
eyes in itself a sad song,
a sparrow that couldn't sing her song.
It remained a silent plea...

Oh, somebody take a look
Can't you see the unshed tears,
let it fly...high and free
Somebody please hear its silent plea.
