Hi! This is one of the first poems i wrote when I came back from holiday! I love this one a lot. It's quite personal to me, and it took a few days to write - hope you enjoy it!
LIFE AND FREEDOM
the deep silences of my soul
filled with pale blue starlight
making me feel whole again
whole yet
empty
empty and ready
to be the person i was always meant to be
the miracle of healing
watching gaps in our suit of armour
heal over, sometimes a raised scar left
behind
i feel this within me,
textured scabs criss-crossing over my heart,
rough scar tissue soothing my trauma,
closing her eyes-
letting her go
my mind was a prison
forever restraining, forever
restricting
my heart, my soul, my -
me.
but i watch in awe as
the bars open, the prison breaks, the walls
come down
down
down
i am free,
like the moment
the moment of golden sunshine on your
face
tangible, yet not quite,
there, but never reachable, touchable,
feelable,
yet still, free at last
i am free
yellow noise of sunflowers filling my ears,
sincere hopes, real love, honest looks,
not quite passing me by anymore,
so painfully here with me now.
i am free
salt from the ocean settling on the
cracks of my inhalation
honesty and love typifying my
exhalation
e x h a l e
and then i can let it go
and live as one must in this world
live
and live truly.
