Golden Retreat

Golden Retreat :

Why do you cry my child?
Are those tears from 
sadness ?
 no
Not quite 
Realization 
Re growth 
New sight
I had to lay flat 
To gain true height 

No one knows, where and when,their insight Will take flight 

I just reached mine 

The feeling that greatness is about to enter my life 
Some will compare it
To
The news of the expectancy 
Of their first unborn child

It rattled my bones 
Took hold of my soul
Cleared my sight
I never understood 
The saying 
Tears of joy 

Till I opened 
& let God take control 

I'm humbled to the point 
I 
finally feel in control
Yes, the thought alone brings tears
Tears of joy
Light always comes in the morning 
I always considered myself a 
Free bird
Vowed never  to be controlled
I pushed Angels away 
 moved kindred souls 
Little did 
This free bird know
I built my own cage 
Walked in
Forgetting the door was never closed

For a long time 
I felt trapped, seeing a gatekeeper 
The reflection 
She was me 
I was my only road block 
I Am also my only key 
Thank God now 
I can see

I FEEL
I've broken free 
Tears of Joy 
Is my Golden retreat 

Aha like a new born baby
So soft 
You just want to cuddle 
And fall asleep 
The scenery is 
Majestical 
Picture your most beautiful 
dream 
Mine is Greece 
Claiming the blue sea
Serenity 
Content 
Golden Retreat.
