Prisoner's Reverie
“For a Prisoner, coming to freedom from the dank and dark dungeon of captivity is like coming into the radiant rays of dawn’s early light”- by Poet
Breaking open the tightly barred prison gates
Shattering the close fitted iron shackles
His mind flew into freedom’s alpine heights
To his beloved home where love nestles
What thrill to be united with his folks
They would dance in delight to see him back
How the day would be spent in lively talks
His children would dash down to kiss his cheek
From his beloved’s eye, tears would roll down
Saline drops of joy, so hard to control
The house then in great merriment would drown
Love’s sweet embrace would soothe his famished soul
Alas! He knew it was just a reverie
Yet he flew on wings of such revelry
