Sacred Dream

He had never seen the daylight
Grew up in a profound pit 
The darkness gripped him so tight
He didn’t wish to live under a bright light

He reaches the age of independence
He runs through the darkness to the exit
Stands before the unbreakable gate
A fear of freedom, unease at the bright light

Butterflies fly in and out of the gate
Carrying his dreams, which are sacred
Love is the key to open the gate
Which he’s never experienced yet

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
