Freedom

 

 

Heart released of blinded obedience,

heavy chains of doubt brittle now.

Escape found in truth's winged flight

Radiance courses my life anew

with sweet feel of freedom

 

Stark contrast in what once

was my darkened world

Held so tightly

to crush my will

to

bury my very soul


Looking into tomorrow's venture

and relish the winds

of change cleansing

the soot built of past

 

Eyes wide the horizon

yet to be

        This is more than mere ramblings. This is what poetry should be.
        Passionate, emotional, and full of impact. This here, rang loud to me.
