MY FREEDOM
ALM No.81, October 2025
POETRY
A cage of whispers, once my soul confined,
With bars of doubt, a spirit intertwined.
A shadowed room, where fears did take their hold,
A story whispered, in a tale untold.
But dawn arose, a beacon in the grey,
A lingered promise, chasing shadows away.
A trembling hand, that reached for skies so high,
And whispered freedom, beneath a boundless sky.
The chains of yesterday, began to fray,
As sunlight warmed the path, along my way.
A caleidoscope of dreams, unfurled and bright,
With colors vibrant, bathed in morning light.
Each step a victory, a whispered prayer,
To break the bonds, that held me captive there.
A soaring eagle, with wings of gold and might,
Embraced the wind, and took to endless flight.
My heart, a compass, guided by the stars,
To distant shores, where freedom truly bars.
No longer bound by walls, or voices low,
My freedom's song, a symphony of flow.
The world unfolds, a canvas vast and wide,
With endless vistas, where my spirit hides.
A lingered echo, of a soul set free,
My freedom's anthem, eternally.
