I look up
        and see
half a sky
  half
        my harbor

I have bound
     myself

to this
      lined  cliff-face
willingly
  or not

but these iron bands
keep me safe
against the real
                 hard
             cold     rock

oh
      they BITE

but they
         are
           familiar
yes

and then

            a voice
sings from the air about

saying
           trust
and I

yearn
               strain

resenting
the bindings I made...

I crack them
        

     and slowly fall

down and away
    from the face
of old
castoff
     bitterness

and float

             no

FLY

to the light

that made
  the shadow
         of my
             charade
          dance
    on the rock
behind my bound form

   falling
into your sun

     as a key

             unlocking


         all the treasures
            
within

That's about as perfectly as I've ever heard it said...

Hello Brian, it's been quite some time, and it's very understandable if you don't remember be by Sara, or PoeticGoddessOfDepression.
Nonetheless, this poem of yours is just.. brilliant.  I can find no other words to describe it.  You have no idea how thrilled I am to see you still posting.  Keep it up, and take care.

FLY

to the light

that made
  the shadow
         of my
             charade
          dance
    on the rock
behind my bound form

   falling
into your sun

     as a key

             unlocking


         all the treasures

Brian, this is absolutely beautiful.......
just pure beauty....and so true when one falls...
