Liberation

Liberation

A Poem by Hayley

It was once that the birds flew with me

In perfect rhythm of the rising tide

Guided by the golden sun, 

A flock in sunrise.


The pale wind tasted pink and steadfast

On our liberated tongues;

Who had heavenly power in open bounty 

Had soared among


Us with a shepherding hand;

No longer will my scorched eye

Hold flames to the unyielding sun,

But with my Shepherd heed to eternity fly.

Ah, i see such a beautiful picture here, and the one you chose does do it some justice, but not in the same way that my mind makes it. "But with my Shepherd heed to eternity fly."- that by far is a talented line. I can feel the freedom all over this poem hayley! "No longer will my scorched eye Hold flames to the unyielding sun, But with my Sepherd heed to eternity fly"- it's almost like you don't care anymore that the sun is hard to look at, or that pain still exists; you are free all the same. Sometimes when we make choices like this in life, we have to look out for ourselves and forget the rest for awhile. Great write!

There is such a beautiful feeling of flight here... moving us across time, ancient and modern. In the coldness of the world you have found a warmth and glorious hand to lead you. What a peaceful vision of freedom!

Very inspiring and rebelling words against mainstream society. We do not need guidance from false prophets to have faith in above.
