Caged

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
 caged sunflowers
 face different directions
 pine for a different sun
 -surrounding mirrors
 reflect 
 the object of
 their deepest desires
 -yet leave them wondering
 why is the warmth missing?
 why does the heart not sing?
  
 Seven horses of the sun
 feel pulled apart
 -whose love is this
 which overpowers
 their unity?
 -Which undercurrents
 call for help?
 -Who is it
 they need to rescue tonight?
  
 So that the night ends
 and the world wakes up
 to a brighter dawn
 with smiles
 swaying in the wind
  
 -but heroes fade
 while worship lives
 dark skies claim
 territories
 that once belonged
 to a honest Sun…
