Studio Ispirato Poet Rhyme

Unchained

There once was a time
And a place 
With a different name
And a different face 

Bound by the shackles
And Kept out of sight
The fire it crackles
At the dawn of first light

Remnants of love 
Shattered about
They fit like a glove 
This, there is no doubt 

Left for the wanderer
Who must have a key 
Not wanting to squander
What only the wounded can see

Take a piece if you must 
To heal your wounds 
And rebuild your trust

For this is the beginning 
Of a new day and life 
Your path is no longer thinning 
The end, of misery and strife. 

Strong as the ox
And faithful as the bow
A paradox
We all should know 

The fire it crackles 
And burns out of sight
You're free from your shackles 
As day turns to night. 

A key to give 
From he who once lost his soul
There is more life to live 
After love has taken its toll

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
