Awaken

Awaken from my thoughts, I just realize that I am still here I have been in this place for three long years Tattered clothes and broken shoes I have survived the wounds and the bruise The days are long the nights are shorts It’s time to make a brand new start Bag, water, paper and script Spoon, fork, knife, and dish Pound, shilling, dollar and cents Euro, frank and the Canadian man Bow their head and say goodbye He pour gasoline around the fence And try desperately to get out of the lion’s den The lions are sleeping and the fire is raging Thick black smoke parachute in the air Clearing everything far and near Car and van, trucks and man And charred remains perfumed the atmosphere A song trembles from the tip of my tongue And the melody is shouting out loud The evidence is clear and A new message is floating in the air I mount the saddle and climb the hill I never looked back, I kept going until my spirit is still I can see the road ahead and it is clear Will you join me?

It’s easier to break free from the physical constraints than the mental ones. Great write…this seems to be coming from true experience so I wish you luck.
