a cage forged of the finest pewter, silver, or gold
freedom more precious, this silver or gold
acquired knowledge and a secret key
escape with a kiss and pieces of gold
a challenge, a gauntlet, a chance for more
dreams of victory and bliss tinged with gold
hidden plans and open preparation
none the wiser, nothing amiss in fields of gold
slow surrender under a sunny sky
wonder and reminisce behind bands of gold
even gilded, a cage traps and withers
hearts set free with pewter, silver, and gold
