Of Shackles and Freedom

Folder: 
Flying Free

You wounded me

when I had no will

to fight back;

you, the determined

dragon.

I vainly recall the

harshness of your voice,

yet it comes to me

clearly in nightmares.



I realize you are nothing

more than what you

appeared to be -

a would-be politician

who loves cigars.



And now, seasons past,

I realize how very lucky I am.

And now, seasons past,
I realize how very lucky I am.
