You've run so far without escaping
You've escaped so much without running
So much is lost to the gallows of the mind
Yet so much more is kept in the shadows
Let the children play, and pray the children live
You are dark from harvesting the grain of others
Yet your harvest is rotting in the fields
Allow the light of your smile to shine onto all
And let go of the noose you so desperately hold onto
Bury it in your field and watch it enrich the soil
Dark days area ahead...hold onto your light
May it shine brighter that the heaviest cloth can withstand
And may you hold onto it forever
Live not in fear...live free

This poem is for a friend of mine. She knows it has a meaning deeper than face value but it's difficult for her to know what it means. I hope she can pull the meanings out of these words and that they will aid her in troubled times.
