Freedom
Folder:
Darkness
The heavy steel chains
that have imprisoned my body
for so long
have dropped to the sand,
as I stand here on the shore ,
overlooking our ocean of love.
The evening’s tide
will come and sweep them away
never to let them return.
I have been freed
of the ties that bind.
Many waves have come and gone
In our lifetime.
Some brought joy,
Others-pain.
You were not there to witness the blessed
release of my life long bondage.
Nor do you fully understand the cause
of my final release to freedom.
It may be too late for our love to be satisfied.
But at least I feel the weight of those awful chains
now gone from my mind.
My pain was acknowledged fully
in its volcanic eruption
and swiftly shared by one
who ‘s opinion I greatly trusted
to tell me no lies.
When the tide comes in,
will your image be on the waves
as it touches my bare feet
griping the white sand?
