Freedom Bound

by NightFlyer   Sep 21, 2009


Ring of green round melting pearl
Fountain streams up to the sky
Drowns my past as waters swirl
Memories go drifting by.

Images that were my past
Oppressively, my mind, they'd rake
To the waves, like stones, I cast
And watch them sink below this lake.

My new life starts from this point on
Freed of chains that held me down
Those stormy clouds now all have gone
My karmic ship is freedom bound.

    - - Awesome metaphor here, although some may see it as simple it is excellent. I really loved this

    Awesome write overall. A simple poem about gaining freedom and a new life. A new beginning. Putting the past behind you and moving forward. Well done!

    Thats a wonderful take on life... leaving behind the past and moving towards new horizon of hope... radiates just positive feeling ...

    Thanks for all your comments. Was sitting in a tranquil park by a pond while watching a fountain, and then felt a profound change in my life; a new hopeful beginning!
