Courageous King

Oh restless love which longs to loose those chains,
You’re free to roam the wild and distant plains.
For you were born in fields of ageless splendor;
Should you be forced to live without the tender
Warmth and companionship that kings enjoy?

Or do you think that love could never cloy?
I’ve watched you hunting in the morning light;
Your claws are sharp and you are keen of sight.
Perhaps you’ve stepped upon a thorny tree
Or found yourself out walking aimlessly,

But why should you be left in such a rage
That you should long to stay inside your cage?
