Captive No More

they flowed from her lips veiled thoughts, no longer coy prisoner no more with their utterance, freedom equipped to roam and to fly

You have probably met many women who need the encouragement to end their captivity in bad relationships with the work you do, Wilma. It must be wonderful to watch them fly to freedom! Love, Carolyn

Wow, this is different. I had to read it again. It reads like Toni Morrison. Offbeat and it shows you have range. Thank you as always. Regards, Gerard
