FREE Spirit… that’s ME..!!

Enroute the journey of life...
She has been thru' path's that have ~
yanked her away from her fetish for freedom,
her zest for carefree life, her innocence,
binding her to forbidden rules relatively unknown,
wadin' her thru' stumbling blocks that ripped her apart,
enclosing her on, in boundless dreaded fear n' despair,
makin' her stay awake thru' dark nights cryin' silent tears,
havin' been thrown in perpetually void black holes,
that crushed n' shattered her while consuming her whole!!

But,

the deed was done only on her physical existence

for they were not aware of her real presence,

they thought they were seein' her fragmented, when

'twas she who was showin' em what she wanted em to see,

sheer mind games 'twas, till she was ready to bounce back,

n' face head on, the new barricaded set of attacks,

with renewed vigor n' strength within, to hold on,

all the while, waitin' for the time to be just right,

to unveil the real HER - her soul n' spirit with pride!!

She is an untouched FREE spirit n' soul ~

who has risen from her own ash-fill...

like a phoenix to soar new dimensional heights,

over every sea, ocean, mountain, chasm n' tide,

where over every predicament, it is HOPE that abides!!

Her pristine soul is radiant with true love ~

flowin' in abundance, replenishin' each time,

as need be, to sow seeds of peace, bliss n' harmony,

her spirit runs carefree thru' the prying winds, rain,

sunshine, sunset, twilight n' the starry moon lit sky,

who caress her, enliven her n' enthrall her FREE spirit,

liberating the shielded child-woman who yearned all along

to live in a world where innocence is conserved n' Life calls

...for this is the only world where she truly belongs!!

I know all of this of her is true

for that SHE is ME ~

I am the FREE spirit n' soul

who set the I, ME n' MYSELF within me FREE

to be ONE with the universe n' face my fate n' destiny

as such, that from now on I'll live every moment carefree...

Shades of ME

She comes across as a woman ~

who has been chiseled by the realities of life,

Love, happiness, joys; betrayal, loss n' strife,

She is nature's abandoned n' destiny's favorite child;

any incident, now, can incite her enough to withdraw, or

fuel to strike back as a phoenix rising from it's own ashes.

But, this is not who the real she is ~

She is an epitome of innocence n' pure love,

a pristine soul, yearning for real freedom,

from all bondages n' being one with Mother Nature,

for that is where she sets herself completely free,

as she knows that this is the place where she truly belongs.

She is aware she is different, she is unique ~

and, she has variant of shades that make her who she is;

Sunset, twilight, calm lakes, rivers, rains n' seas,

evoke within her, her deeply hidden sensitivities n' dreams,

while soft music enlightens her heart n' mind akin,

and, poetry n' prose give vent to her heartfelt feelings.

A child woman, a lone wanderer in thirst of peace,

simplicity n' true unconditional love is all that she seeks;

It's her strong will that enthrals her to strive,

to create a world that she will call her own;

She might give up at times but she will bounce back,

I know for real that she will do this for that SHE is ME.

Pauses in Life

Is my quest for eternal peace n' my callin'

a surreal boundless semblance of a mirage?

is it only me who fears on what the comin' holds?

moments keep movin' time after time

n' with it the unknown unfolds;

Life is meant to be an ongoing journey,

with every second, hour n' day addin' to it,

then why am I being forced by time to pause?

Did I happen to grow up too fast

or was it destiny that blew me apart?

as tears stream down my face,

I'm forced by time to pause ~

to seek sanity in my solitude,

askin' myself the necessary question,

why do I keep slippin' into a vortex?

when my intentions are always right..!!

With every moment that passes, it dawns,

that this too shall be lost in the bracken,

O! why does it have to reminisce of the past,

where I lost the realm of my childhood innocence,

that I still yearn in every livin' moment to overcome,

the trapped feelin' within n' set free,

the true child woman, the real ME.
