Notes About The Poem

To Cross my Door to Liberty

To Cross My Door To Liberty

The calling of the Rooster confirms a new dawn to me
I can sense the morning sun through mist I now can see

I lie here alone, so distant from love and life
My companion, a cold pillow, I need rescued from my strife

My breathing resonates amidst the loneliness I live
To cross my door to liberty, one day I'll have to give

When once my bed was warm, with heart warming displays
Now it's cold like a grey granite slab, for many many days

A darkness engulfs my life, when love before was there
To awaken to the Roosters call, all I can do is stare

My desire is to open my eyes, to venture to another day
When love again will fill my heart, in warming loving plays
