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
