Free Verse
From the heart with unfathomable depths
Innermost emotions forever, deeply stir
Overflowing at times they beg release from captivity
And in no way is dependent upon our reason or rhyme
Through verse they are freed and echo throughout the universe
Most often prompted by a sweet essence renowned
Through the musings of the spirit murmuring
Interpreting the dictates of heart to mind
The hopes and dreams of men lie in silent wait for liberty
The precepts of my free verse, and freedom of expression
Remain unencumbered, unrestrained
Without defamation, or degradation
Meant always to uplift and promote growth and success
And like waters from flowing rivers, irrigate and nurture seeds
Scattered across our parched, dry earth
