Chained


this soul
imprisoned , captured
locked away by
   chains of  a  
        former time
not young
    but old….
and living this period
  of
     existence
lingering on
   old times, memories,
ancient hills
   searching for the place
it longs to be

this heart
   a searchlight beaming
bouncing hopelessly
      towards the pathway
of my
        life
the direction where
    growth, and change
become different…

   it
becomes me
           unchained

Dark Angel
2000

Oh to feel "unchained".  A wonderful feeling that would be.  I, too, am bound by memory it seems.  Love this poem

Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,

Ah, being unchained is truly a wonderful thing...well written, flows exellently, and a lovely message of hope.  I enjoyed this a lot!

Excellent as always DA. . . the chains must be broken if we are to truly live. . .

Wonderful words, my friend. . .

"Where growth and change become different"... Great line.  Great poem.  I find myself stuck in the past way too often, also.

Hi Dark Angel,

Loosing the chains of the heart is always our aim but some times the locks become stubbornly stuck until the time is right and then it happens the moment is upon you and you look around and life did change in a turn of a key.
I am very happy you found your key.
