Thompson Emate Poet Free verse

Dot To Dot

Dot to dot they join,
Line to line the word forms,
A word many have craved,
A word that made its abode with some,
A word that scarcely stayed with some, 
This word was given to some and it made them,
This word was given to some but marred them, 
A word that fragmented indomitable nations,
A word some sought with peaceful protests,
A word some sought for with arms and ammunition,
Nations' founding fathers were martyred for it,
A man was incarcerated for a score and seven years because he journeyed its road for his nation,
A word that has opened its
 door to some only for a short season,
A word that I earnestly seek in its entirety,
Freedom is a bird I want to eternally take flight with, 
Let it come to me like the east wind,
Let it take its seat in my chamber,
Hold hands with me in my sojourn,
Until I go through dawn's final door.
