- considering the possibility of freedom -

They closed their windows
to let their wild nature out

Unwanted,
notes of joy, destroyed
by obsessive fear
in silence,
like the burning mid-summer wind
making their souls howl and cry,
dried up, neglected.

Years went by,
the place turned
into an old station
where trains never stop:
illusions dead,
erosion of hope.

They closed their doors
to let the savage world out

No oxygen
to feed the fire,
to warm their reptile skin,
cold and damp,
a wall of mold and expected death.

Until slowly,
true feelings,
once chained,
unravel,
old parchments of dusty lives
unfold,
until fall
the blindfolds of seclusion.

Imprisonment
cannot last forever

I was totally absorbed within the first four lines.... wondering 'in what direction is this going to lead'... the composition and direction
were impactful. I simply like what you had to say in Reveal and the way you said it...so well...

An outstanding composition... "Release" makes me think on shields for the soul, and makes my heart pump wisdom.

I salute You, Poet.

In admiration,

This reminds me of a trumpeter I once heard play. He put a mute on the horn, and then played as loudly as he could. The trumpet let out a stifled scream. I'd never heard such emotionally paining music before--it was exactly like wracking, noiseless sobs. I kept expecting the mute to pop out, because he blew so hard... eventually something gives--the mind sometimes, the will sometimes, and sometimes the window coverings fall--the hinges rust and the door opens. It just begs the question: Why? Why does anyone want to stuff humanity into seclusion? What on earth good does it do? I was contemplating fashion this morning. It's past Labor Day. I wear white today--rebelling. What's wrong with white? Who sets these stupid standards anyways? --Charlie

Simply put: Change is inevitable even if the world is unprepared or unwilling to accept it. We must shed our skin of exclusion, and embrace the best of what this world offers...take it or leave it.

Wow, Axilea, you broke through the barriers of poetry and soared to new heights: excellent. Deeply moving, powerfully expressed.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
