Morning

On the path when the broken twigs burn,
the sun rules the world,
barriers collapse,
chains dissolve.
Looking at them,
so small, so indistinct,
in the struggle, in gloom.
Floods upon me, the brightness,
freedom is near.
The game of life is far away.
Nobody knows me,
a faint line of sand,
along the river flow.

Smiles - a thought provoking write. I'd not cottened on to where you were going until the latter lines and then re-read for fuller meaning... A great write and enjoyable path you draw the reader down...
