For eight long years behind the bars I stilled my questing to be free Although I prayed that one sweet day I‘d win it back my….. liberty But oh they thought my lilting song Sprang from a bosom full of glee All I ever wished to say Was please dear lady set me free? And then the door sprang open wide Gaping to the noon day sun A cheerful whistling song I cried To happy freedom I did run Flitting now from tree to tree Again where beauty lines the land No more the thought of freedom lost Once more to live by Gods’ own hand I’ll choose and cherish my gentle bride We’ll have and tend our downy young And when the days are dark and drear We’ll serenade them with our song Come now in this blissful state Hear my song of harmony And know this tuneful loping strain Is only heard in……… liberty Thanks C.R.

Jon, Don't exactly know what to say to this one! Not much poetry makes me speechless like that! Wonderful portrayl of hope in a world of hate. Alicia A. Renzelman |

Echoeing the above....brilliant poem! Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Nothing worse than the heart or mind being held captive, and only the spirit can set it free. This is a wonderful verse, open to interpretation, and I developed mine on the first read. An amazing poem, indeed Liz |

Jon, This is a wonderful poem! At first I thought you were in prison, but like Liz said, it's open to interpretation. ~Gene |
