The Clearing - Rhyme Version

He looked above on a clear blue sky Without his shackles after all those years Even a heartless could understand why The air brought his eyes to tears He was a convict of trial by vilification He was sentenced in the court of judgmental mind But fate turned lenient for his emancipation From the world that's so unkind From his grave, he stared on the horizon Trying to figure out how to soar His heart rejoiced in joyful jubilation For sharp words can't pierce him, no more February 24, 2023
