The Soul

She knows not when she was made To wear the shackles and rest in pain It's been ages since she opened these eyes But they are lying under so many layers She can see, but the windows are not her own She can hear but the drums are of someone else The Rind around her is tight And suffocating... She is the reason the Rind exists... But does It know... Does It appreciate? What if she tears it apart... And flee.. And why doesn’t she? Pledges have enchained her? Or does she reckon flying a sin...? Eternity is calling its missing partner.. Bells of the Heaven are ringing.... But she hears nothing, for the walls are high So thick that even celestial voices won't penetrate it Caged in a body and bodily needs... She is losing her connection with heavens... *____________________* Windows.. Eyes Drums... Ears

I do feel that what you have just breathed of words is not just a wonderful work of Art.. a poetry of a rising imagination.. it is more than that! I read a soul in deep awareness of the shackles within.. a soul who knows the worth of the Self but torn apart because of the need to connect! Great poetry! Deep thoughts and feelings. A delight to read! My deepest regards and blessings.

Enjoyed this, especially the line: "The Rind around her is tight & suffocating..." Yes, Americns and Europeans and others do bury their men in suits, uniforms, and other kinds of dress. I think it's silly. Cremation should be made law – at a price that's reasonable. Thank you for reading my work. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / Maurice

How sad when a woman is made to wear shackles and the angels don't sing to her anymore. We were all born free regardless of our sex, I pray one day she will be free again, Thank you for sharing xo
