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
