Freeing The Words

The greatest pleasure
the absence of pain
The greatest freedom
relinquishing gain
The greatest message
the one from inside
The greatest secret
the hardest to hide

A dollar given
 a blessing earned
A lesson taught
 a lesson learned
A truth in waiting
 a lie untold
A promise whispered
 a pledge on hold  

When voices call
the doubtful pander
When questions breed
they’re left unanswered
When lost in space
there’s room for motion
When Venus reigns
new love’s devotion

Written in code
the warning’s hidden
Freeing the words
— tomorrow given
