Freedom

entry picture

The time has come to let you go. 
To set you free.


To let you roam the land.
Fly the sky. Sail the sea.

Your freedom had been taken, now go, 
Do as you plea.

No more walls, locks, cuffs, guards or keys.

My brother, the time has come to set you free. 

Run, walk or crawl.  Fly if you want. 

Feel the wind blow wild against your pale white face,  
And smile. 

Escape the pain, the hurt, the misery. 


My brother, this earth can feel so lonely. 
Be safe as you watch over me and the rest of our family.

Brother, you are finally free.

Hi Emer,

Wishing you a belated Happy New Year! Hope you are keeping well. One message I get from this is the importance of being kind to ourselves and allowing ourselves the right to move on..

Take care,
Suki

A good poem for putting yourself in the poet’s shoes and relying on observation instead of action.

I can definitely feel the poet’s emotion.

And I liked the description of the “pale white face” to indicate the subject had not experienced the sun in a long time.
