As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.

Awaiting Release
In Response To:
Sadje’s What Do You See #42 – Please tag your responses with #Whatdoyousee. Does this picture inspire you to write something?
Yet, another mask
painted in brilliant colors
sparkling glitter and
neon brush stokes
catching the attention
of all eyes passing by…
But the dispirited eyes
behind the mask
speak of truth hidden
the ache of the lost soul
desperate to be set free
from the prison of facade

Free Will
In Response To:
Crimson’s Creative Challenge #60 – Every Wednesday I post a photo. You respond with something CREATIVE.
Behind the steel bars
is a tunnel that leads to
a prison of lost dreams,
deferred hope, abandoned faith
endless wandering through
mazes that can only be felt
for in this there is no sight…
until weariness meets humility
and the soul’s patina becomes
new again unlocking the bars
setting free what was once
drowning in the sewage of despair.
Life can begin again at any time,
any moment of the day, by choice.
