The Cage Our past, with all its history becomes the base formed by right or wrong reality weak or strong It musn't be molded to much of the other just in case pro and con dreams off or on Our future, with all its possibilities suspend overhead held high by four walls the present trapped, it calls To one side is emotions to the other circumstance its said backed up by time, it brawls life it runs, it crawls Our decisions stand before us at the wall of choice with patience and rage judgement behind or on the stage At the point of no return its heard, a voice "nothing more to wage" our souls free in the cage |

mmmmm this poem made me think how we can trap ourselves within a cage made from strong bars of our past. In order to free ourselves we need to free ourselves from our past and move into the future. I'm not sure if that is what you were saying, Craig, but it sure hit me that way. I have a lesson to learn from my own vision of this poem. Thank you. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
