Unchain Words of Freedom
I write because I can see the sky.
I can see the skyline and want to fly higher,
higher than the bird that floats among the leaves.
I find that words can bring people down to their knees
in harmony and peace and joyous occasion
at service, in prayer, during that special dedication.
I write because freedom means more to me
than the flag that is waiving and the ringing song of the free.
This is repetitive; my creativity stunted hurts more than I allotted
in my soul.
Ouch - dear therapist, what can I do?
There is only so much that I can doubt.
"Just write. Just let the words flow.
Let them just unchain your soul."
