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.

I don't usually disagree with someone on their description I do try to shine light, and love, but I must on this point,
sgraybe: you do have the wings, of freedom within your writings, you do soar with the winds of the heart, and take our souls on a magical ride within.
And I look forward to more flights.
From A wolf with wings also.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
