Finding Freedom

What sets a man free?
Is it when from his sorrows he can flee?
Is it the sound of chains falling?
His heart's plea?
The hope of a new day?
Like that of a cut-down tree?
Or is it the head-on facing of trepidation?
The hard, sweaty, painful way?
The blasting of walls to find a way?
Is it?
Or is it the letting go to a calling?
That of being held and not holding on?
Of being carried up, up and away?
Like a leaf in a windstorm?
Or is it the sound of chains falling?
His heart's plea?
