Life’s Avenue
Ensconced in warmth and comfort, butterfly wings with soft bird song fills all around.
Trials and tribulations float away cares and worries turn to happy songs, the joy of laughter from ones loved lift’s my spirit and carries me on.
Under the boughs of leaves from trees many shades of green like an umbrella, I walk arms entwined with love not hate instep on a floor of sweet flowers to the beat taking me to this place in my dreams.
Happiness long forgotten now comes back unbidden, like the waves beating on the shore my soul is awash in this joy pure and unfretted.
Taken by the hand on clouds run free, this euphoria has come over me since I was set free.
Chains and shackles broken the bonds and smell of despair are finally clear, the harps do play and angels cheer.
Once again too walk happy down this path, life’s avenue.

One On One…
A peculiar similarity between
you and me;
I born a slave being;
you , seemingly free.
My father toiled in bondage;
yours to serve and protect the same;
mine lived and died in disguised rage;
yours lived and died in unfretted—denied shame.
Strange fruits of the same human tree
are you and me. We
searching the blood soaked rooted key
the door to set us free.
Reciprocity can be a raging *****.
I refuse to be a wretched witch.
