straining at the ropes that bind her < !signature-->that hold her an unwilling captive the young filly struggles for freedom the far-off places call to her on the breezes enflaming her desire to taste freedom she stops fighting and stands motionless head lifted to breathe the winds of liberty in deep she knows somehow she must be free somehow she must loose these fetters so she can fly like the eagles so she can race over the uneven ground at a biting pace, and just run! resuming her passioned fight she can feel the ropes starting to loosen her freedom bound by but a thread now must not cease the struggle must be free must leave her demons far behind in a cloud of dust and sorrow there! freedom! it's hers! and run she does as far and as fast as she can go never stopping to rest never slowing never ever looking back "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare [This message has been edited by X Angel (edited 09-07-2000).] |
