Liberation

Liberation, a word, a thought?
Something borrowed or bought,
through the experience of fraught?

Can the eye see or the hand feel freedom in this way?
To know what is real;
awaken all to the truth of the roles that we played.

Societal rules. The price is paid;
consensus dictates the norm.
History creates a storm of expectation; identities fade.

Make way to stand bare in your truth;
shed these old garments of war.
Receive the protection of light;
to shine forth from your spiritual core.

The spark ignites.
Seize the night; claim a conscious choice.
To know the truth of who we are;
raise a new collective voice.

Not just in word or thought,
but in the vibration of one-a-chord.
The sweet resonation of souls,
whose light becomes their sword.

Release your fear and unworthiness.
Resound to realms above.

For the only path to liberation is this vibration of love.

As an adult, I was inspired by great poets like Elizabeth Barret Browning and Emily Dickenson who taught me that writing was a personal journey to be shared as inspiration to others. I am grateful for this opportunity to share my gift- my voice. more…
