Set Your Spirits Free

THE    "YOU"

Can RUN but NEVER Hide

If LIVING in the Eye of the STORM

Then DANGER'S at ALL Sides


ONLY    "YOU"

NO One Else the Fault to BLAME

If YOU Dress the MIRROR to SUIT your Needs

CLOWNS would Laugh themselves to SHAME


It's "YOU"

The DEEDS You Do SHAPE the FACE of TIME

If YOU Seek "ANSWERS" Blowing in the Wind

Then, Lay down AUTUMN LEAVES of Wine 


SIMPLY "YOU"

Where there're No WINGS Will One Day FLY

Sculpture A FUTURE beyond the EARTH and SKY

VIRTUALLY  "YOU" will Never DIE


"YOU"

Be ALL the "YOU" that YOU can BE

REMOVE the CHAINS and REACH for the STARS

"SET YOUR SPIRITS FREE"

If only we could convince everyone that we must take responsibility for our own actions, Arturo. Unfortunately, we have no role models in our nation's capital. Excellent, thought-provoking poetry, Arturo! Hugs, Carolyn

Reminds me of the motto of the U.S. Air Force. "BE ALL YOU CAN BE". I used to tell my daughters growing up that if they just would be THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE, that is all anyone can ask. For sure it's all God asks of us. Great write here my friend. God Bless, JB

We can do A LOT...Once DREAM inspired...The rest takes motivation and Encouragement to achieve the Goal...

Hi, I read much in this fine write. My take from some of it is never play the victim, it's You that's doing this to yourself. Cool write.
