FREEDOM FIGHT: A poster gleams, it shouts to me More embittered, more obscure A dance; work; a new face Things flash past me in a blur A freedom fought, a battle lost Exhausted, spent, dead A life unworthy, trials met I scream, it churns instead Graphics sharp, yellow on black Retreating, backwashed tide The wholeness of the deep green sea Engulfs me as I hide Two wonders here, a soft sigh Clambering for the shore I bob up and down as I try to breathe Returning, lost, for more The drab, dark grey of an endless night Turns laughs into powerful fear Time spent alone drives me deeper down Past ancient faces that appear A gross encounter of a numbered kind Panic subsides, replaced with loss The grief of a child compares to none Except a rolling, stoneless moss Death is not all that causes grief My question; the answer known For I have seen its other side My loss, grief has shown The flight of an eagle touches me As it soars on winds of change But me I stand, rooted here Freedomless, I remain.

Syliva, your last stanza says it all for me. The flight of an eagle touches me As it soars on winds of change But me I stand, rooted here Freedomless, I remain. so many times I've felt like this. Thanks Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

I agree with Joel....that brought forth so many feelings. "Rooted here...." I suddenly had visions of a POW I know....wondered if he had those same thoughts.."Freedomless, I remain"..... Stange how so much of the poetry here means so many different things to so many people. Great work. Hardrock |

Sylvia, that was beautiful, and I have to agree with the others, that last sentence,"freedomless I remain", really brings forth a lot of emotion. Very powerful. |
