Freedom

Freedom When the light of liberty is taken from me, my soul is veiled, I can't feel or see. When the waters of the sea are a dream to me, daily I become lost, numb to feeling. When all I have are memories that invade constantly. How much longer to end my lonely crying? As the years progress in this drab place. Tears fall familiar on my face. Through the bars and wire I see a world of beauty. I Wait for the day to become free. Free to soar and indulge in all taken for granted; a kiss, the ocean, the love of my family. For now still tears fall familiar on my face. With my liberty comes smiles; my fettered nightmare erased. Daily I come closer to becoming unencumbered. I await a free world, all it’s peach and wonder.
