A New Captivity
The melody is official and old
mellow and nostalgic
challenging the desires I have
in my soul
and illuminating my broken parts.
The beat moves within my body
with richness
making decisions
and changing my mind
turning my attention to the wild
animal that sets me free.
Inside of me
directions to the thing
I hope
and the rest I try
to forget.
Something stirs, thats been
sleeping for a year.
The peace moves around,
uncovering me
exposing me.
The lion’s roar,
and the piano notes
and the words meet
something new
creeping
slowly.
Love has a new meaning
a song
a poem
a hand to hold
setting me free
to a new captivity.
