Living's Curse

Many times through many lives I fought for freedom of the mind As burdens made by living’s curse ensured restraint of freewill’s kind. Then something found in search beyond the rampart walls of prison’s kind Revoked the parapets unscaled to free the curse of limit’s mind. Then arose from dungeon’s depth that once was bound by living’s curse Free spirit with its wings unfurled where thoughts could soar in freedom’s verse. Though many lifetimes I had walked denied the ways of freedom’s verse Now unconfined by mind’s restraints I’m now released from living’s curse. Walking now new paths illumed, as with new sight I am consumed. Ivor G Davies
