Love

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love.” -Sophocles, Greek Poet Out of the shackles of turbulent night, Through the dark meadow to redemption light, Freed captives of a menacing shadow, We can look out of an open window. Held by a warm and compassionate hand, Led to a beautiful and blossoming land, A symphony of glee pervades the room, Out of the hold of the tendrils of gloom, Hope adds colours to a shadowy day, The feet find a sure harmonious way, The mind sees beyond the looming sorrow, There’s an entry of a new tomorrow. Lightened of the weight, we see with new eyes, Love aids us to disperse the gloomy skies.
