inspired after some communication with a new friend - and with gratitude to them


Being


forced not to deny pure nature
nor conform with expected design
we grow freely toward the centre
of ideas that were once entwined
we shake fears, we make tears and we live
no false comfort from evil's repeat
as the toll of existence eases
nor longer is there need to retreat
the tannin river returns to crystal
and air alights with a fireworks glee
no soldier is there to refuse
this voice that longs to be free

lovely work Eli! We cannot deny our nature, or we suffer eternal strain, and imo, that is not the name of lifes game.

Smiling at you

The poem "Being" is a classic example of metamorphical expression.The last line .. this voice that longs to be free is a testimony of being freedom.
