Soul's Freedom

Soul's freedom soars
on wings of beaten love.
Shame shackles
forging links of despair.
Downtrodden
shuffling corpse
of the once-living
suffocating hearts confusion
with hopeless addiction.
Sorrow sorrowing
cries out into the void
and midst the echoing
catches
an other's
tortured cry.
Whispered,
fear filled,
aching, yearning
that this nothing
is not all there is.
In the deep stillness
heart speaks unto heart
gently,
tenderly
of love's longing
and love's song.
Hearing heard
Restlessness become rest
Soul's freedom soars
on golden wings
of love restored.
