Richard D Seal Poet Quatern

I, Freedom

I, Freedom

By my desires I firmly hold
Whilst misery and fear torment
The hand that strives to unfold
Those with hearts of true intent

Ask me if I find you wanting
Do so and I will not lie
Yes but I’ll not be lamenting
My vapours that of do or die

I hear the call of all enslaven
See the yearnings deep inside
Know, I am the one true haven
Know that peace, I will provide

Place me in the hand that wants me
By tyrants you’ll not be ignored
Fix the eye of steel upon me
Reach to the sky, I am your sword.

Andrea Dietrich September 18, 2015 at 1:18 PM hmm, just finding myself clicking around again searching for poems of yours! Anyway, I really appreciate what you said on my last poem you commented to. Have a lovely Friday, my friend. Richard D Seal September 18, 2015 at 7:57 PM Oh my, so you're the inspiration for the Dusty Springfield hit 'Son of a Preacher Man'. I'll never be able to hear that song again now, without thinking of you lol. Take care, Richard
